Worship Opportunities

Parking/Entrances
There are two entrances to our building for worship.  The first is in the front of the building, on 4th Ave., or that is, the north side of the building.  It is tempting to enter through the old entrance which faces the yard marquee, however, this door opens from the inside only now.  The second entrance is in the back of the building, on 5th St. This side of the building is also our main parking area.

Visitor Registration Podium
If you are visiting please stop at the Visitor Registration podium and introduce yourself.  Please, be sure to leave your name, contact information, and why you are visiting with the volunteer. We will be happy to send your home church a note that you worshipped, and also gives us a chance to send you a thank you for visiting.
