IN-PERSON SERVICES

Sanctuary Indoor Video Venue

For those who desire to be in a climate-controlled space, we open up our Indoor Sanctuary to participate in the worship occurring in the Patio. Face masks are optional.

Patio Outdoor Service

Our adult worship services are held in our Outdoor West Patio (currently for overflow). This space is about 7,000 sq/feet (By way of comparison, an NBA basketball court is 4,700 sq/ft) and can accommodate 150-200 people social distanced depending on seating configuration. The Patio has been upgraded with a portable stage, modest sound system, and large video wall to enhance our worship. Face masks are optional.

The youth students (6th-12th grade) worship in the Porch. This space is also about 7,000 sq/ft. We set up chairs all in singles to encourage social distancing among students. We have set up a portable stage, modest sound system, and large video wall. The students appreciate having their own space for worship. Youth worship occurs on Sundays at 11:30 am.

Kindergarten to 5th-grade children are invited to our in-person 9:30 am service at the Porch or Online through our Livestream. We will provide In-Person Small Groups (right after the sermon).
