Preparing for Your First Visit 
​

Picture
Schedule a Campus Tour
We want you to feel welcome and comfortable on your first visit! Earlier in the week, consider contacting the church office at 225-654-2389 to schedule a campus tour. We can arrange for a staff member or a volunteer to meet you one weekday or evening to show you around. This can help make your first Sunday morning with us go more smoothly.  

What to Wear
Honestly we don’t have a dress code, but here is what you can expect. At our Traditional service, there are a few men who wear sport coats and a few ladies who wear dresses, but this is not the norm. Most people are not that formal, and instead you will see a lot of business casual attire. At our Pathway Contemporary service, it is more relaxed and casual. You will see everything from blue jeans to casual attire to business casual attire. At both worship services feel free to wear what you want to wear.

Our church has four parking lots. 
  • 1. Northwest parking lot (off of School Street by the children’s building)
  • 2. Southwest parking lot (off of School Street by the sanctuary & church office)
  • 3. Northeast parking lot (at the corner of Young Street & Rollins Road by the fellowship hall & the Little School) 
  • 4. Southeast parking lot (off of Church Street by the sanctuary & youth building)

If you are coming to worship at the Traditional service, you may want to park in the SE, SW, or NW parking lots. If you are coming to worship at the Pathway Contemporary service, you may want to park in the SE or NE parking lots. ​

Hospitality for Children
On Sunday mornings we offer a professionally staffed nursery for infants - 4 years. Your children are also welcome in worship where they are encouraged to participate in worship with you. At the entrances to worship, we also provide activity clipboards for children that can help them focus their creativity and learning during worship. See the Children’s Ministry page for more opportunities for children.   

Restrooms
We offer restrooms at four places on our campus. 
  • In the Traditional sanctuary foyer
  • At the back of the Pathway down the short hallway 
  • In the children’s building
  • In the youth building

​Coffee  
On Sunday mornings, coffee is offered free of charge. We have coffee stations at three locations on our campus. 
  • The kitchen in the youth building 
  • The kitchen in the church office
  • The kitchen in the fellowship hall

Entrance to 11:00 a.m. Pathway Contemporary Worship 
The entrance to the Pathway is under the covered walkway between the youth building and the fellowship hall and the Little School. ​

Holy Communion 
On the first Sunday of each month and on special holidays, we celebrate the Lord’s Supper also known as Holy Communion. When we observe Holy Communion we have an open table where everyone present is welcome to participate. In the ceremony, worshipers are invited to come down the center aisle to the table where they are given a piece of bread and an individual cup. As worshipers partake, they are invited to remember the body and blood of the Lord Jesus, his death on the cross, his resurrection, the new covenant, and the forgiveness of sins. After partaking, worshipers are invited to return to their seats through the outside aisles. 

Sunday School 
Between the worship services at 10:00 a.m. there are small groups who meet for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. To learn more about our Sunday School classes, see the Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, and Adult Ministries pages.

If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our church office.
