YOUR FIRST VISIT:
A little familiarity before you arrive...
COME AS YOU ARE
What should I wear?
Wear whatever makes you comfortable! You’ll see some people in their Sunday best and others in shorts and T-shirts—and either way is perfectly fine with us. We’re glad you’re here!
ARRIVE
Where should I park?
Feel free to park in any available space! Additional parking is available in the gravel area next to the Youth Center. Head to the front doors, where our greeters will welcome you and help you find your way.
GET SETTLED
Can I grab a coffee before service?
Absolutely! Our coffee shop opens before Sunday School each Sunday morning and stays open until worship begins at 10:00 AM. Enjoy free coffee, sweet tea, bottled water, and bagels with cream cheese. Come a little early, grab a refreshment, and make yourself at home!
BRINGING YOUR FAMILY?
Let’s make their first visit easier, too.
Our greeters will show you where to check in your children, from birth through 4th grade. Students in 5th grade and above are welcome to attend Sunday School classes and join us for worship in the sanctuary.
If you have a child in the nursery, you’ll receive a buzzer that will vibrate if your child needs you. For children in Pre-K through 4th grade, we’ll contact you by text message if you’re needed.
Your children are also welcome to stay with you in the sanctuary if that’s where you—or they—feel most comfortable!
SUNDAY SCHOOL AT 9:00 AM
There’s a place for you to learn and grow.
We’d love for you to join us for Sunday School! Children’s classes are available for birth through 4th grade. Students in 5th grade and above, along with adults, are welcome in any of our three other classes.
One class meets in the Sr. High Youth Room in the Youth Center, and two meet in classrooms off the coffee shop area. Our greeters can help you find a class!
JOIN US FOR WORSHIP
What can I expect during worship?
Head to the sanctuary at 10:00 AM and sit wherever you feel comfortable. If you need help or have questions, look for our staff wearing lanyards throughout the building.
A typical service lasts about an hour and 15 minutes, beginning with worship followed by the message. The steps at the front of the stage serve as our altar area—a place to pray and respond to God. This space is always open to you, whether during worship or in response to the message.
FIFTH SUNDAYS - When there is a 5th Sunday in the Month calvarywayKIDS dismiss during the 10am service so that we can all worship together in the sanctuary. We typically take communion on these Sundays as well.
PRAYER FOR OUR PASTOR
Why do men gather around the pastor during worship?
During worship, you may notice a group of men gathering around our pastor on the front row to pray. This is a Calvary Way tradition, and any men who would like to join them in prayer are welcome.
AFTER SERVICE
We’d love to meet you!
Before you leave, take a moment to say hello! Our pastor is usually at the sanctuary doors after service and would love the opportunity to meet you.
