The Sunday Experience
Where Do
I Enter?
The Worship Center, home to our 9:15 traditional
service and 10:45 blended service, is the building closest to Chalkville Road
(featuring stained glass and a steeple).
Entering any of the exterior doors will leave you just a few
seconds away from finding a good seat. The Venue, where
our 9:15 and 10:45 contemporary services take place, is
located at the rear of our property. However, entering any
door will lead you to both arenas. You will see directional signs that
will guide you.
Worship Services
We offer four morning
worship services, letting you worship in the way you're most
comfortable. Worship takes place in our Sanctuary and
within our newest facility, The Venue, occurring
simultaneously with a message simulcast between
rooms.
•
9:15 (Traditional worship in
the Sanctuary)
•
9:15
(Contemporary worship in the Venue)
•
10:45 (Blended worship in the Sanctuary)
•
10:45
(Contemporary worship in the Venue)
If you are
visiting us, we want you to know that you are our guest. When
the
service begins, you'll enjoy the musical selections and
worship that you are comfortable with as well as the down-to-earth style of
our Pastor,
Buddy Champion. You will
not, however, be asked to stand, be singled out or recognized
in any way. You're part of the family. Just relax and
enjoy the morning.
Sunday School
Sunday School
(sometimes called "Bible study) takes place at 8:00, 9:15 & 10:45 AM,
and is important to a person's walk
with Christ. For
a complete listing of classes, and to connect to a like-minded
group, visit our
Sunday School page.
Or for assistance, call us
at 228-1006.
Childcare
We know your child's experience with us is just as important
to you as your own. Just off the Sanctuary, you'll find
the Information Center in the Gathering Space to help you know
where to go. A representative will even take you. Your child
will have a great time in our clean, convenient and safe
facilities with our loving childcare workers, letting you
enjoy the morning as well. Childcare during worship is
available for children six-weeks through age five.
Children/Students
There's always a lot going on for our children and students on
Sundays. Children's church for first through fourth graders is a high
energy, fun time of learning, singing and Bible study, led by
Children's Minister
Blake Kersey
and his crew. Our students (grades 7-12) led by Jeff
Gardner and Dan
Strickland have Sunday
School classes designed just for them.
