During the week

Sunday is central. The week is where we live it.

Most of the church's life together happens Monday through Saturday — in homes, at early-morning Bible studies, and over coffee.

If you're new

Church for all.

What if I'm unsure what I believe?

Come anyway. We've all walked in unsure of one thing or another. Sit at the back, listen, leave when you'd like. Nobody will press you to participate, declare anything, or speak in front of the room.

Where do I park?

Free parking in the lot behind the building, off Glenbrook Road. Overflow parking is available on the street and at the public library across the road.

What about my children?

Children three through eleven are dismissed for our children's program after the second song. Babies and toddlers are welcome to stay in the service — we expect noise.

Will I be asked to give?

No. We do not pass an offering plate to visitors and we do not announce our giving from the front. The church is supported by its members.
