I am planning a visit what should I expect Sunday morning?
How do I get there?
We are on the south side of Indianapolis at the corner of Bluff Road and Epler Avenue.  This [Map] shows the surrounding roads and has a link for travel directions.

Where do I park?
All parking is on the church property and there is designated visitor parking located near the entrances.

What do I bring?
Bring yourself and maybe a Bible if you wish to follow along with the readings from your own.  There are also Bibles and Hymnals in the pews.

When do I need to arrive?
Church services are at 9:00 and 10:15 with Sunday School at 9:00. Come a few minutes early to park, hang up coats and stop by the Welcome desk if you wish.



What is the service like?
The 9:00 and 10:15 Sanctuary services are more of a "Traditional" service with readings, Special music, traditional hymns, prayers and a sermon.  If you are interested in a truly "contemporary" service then you may be interested in our "The Living Well" service which meets at 10:15 in the Great Hall.

Readings and Songs - All readings, songs or prayers that the congregation may recite are printed in either the bulletin that is handed out at the service or in the hymnals located in the pews.

Communion - On the first Sunday of the month we hold communion.  You do not need to be a member of the church to participate nor do you need to feel obligated to participate.
           
Offering - We do not believe in asking visitors to feel obligated to give to the offering.  Also do not feel that you would be the only one not placing anything in the offering plate since many of our members give monthly or some other schedule and do not place an offering in the plate each week.

Sermon - We have two pastors who give sermons each week and they rotate between the services in the Sanctuary and The Living Well service in the Great Hall.  Sermons are based on a theme that may span several Sundays but also will stand on their own.  Feel free to visit the [Sermon] section of this site to listen to past sermons.


What to do after the service?
There is fifteen minutes between services and Sunday School when people visit in the Great Hall over coffee, juice and snacks.  Feel free to join us in fellowship.

Sunday School is available for all ages during the 9:00 hour.  There are several adult classes on various topics and age appropriate children's classes.  The nursery is also available during Sunday school.  See the welcome desk for a current listing of classes and there locations.
