First Time Guests

We Welcome You...

Thank you for visiting us online. If you are outside the Roanoke Valley we hope you enjoy the content on our site and continue to come back for our videos, podcasts, and special events.

If you are in the Roanoke, Virginia area, we welcome you to join us. We understand that visiting a new church is often an intimidating thing. That is just the nature of being someone visiting a place where everyone else knows where to go and what to do. You're not the first, and wont be the last.

Let us Help:

If you are planning to visit on Sunday morning, we want to help. Here are a few things that will make it your visit easier.

Directions
Visit our map to find out where we are.

Parking
We have parking all around the church, but sometimes it can still be a little bit hard to find a space at peak times on Sunday Morning. Many people don't realize that we have an extra parking lot that is on the hill behind the church. To get there you just cross the road (Kingsmen Dr.) behind our building and drive up the hill. You can even see it from the air in google maps.

Welcome Center
Having a friendly face point you in the right direction is helpful. The place to find that is at our main entrance and (Welcome Center) under the steeple. You can also use our Children's entrance which is staffed with greeters ready to help.

Children
We have a large children's program and regularly have over 200 children on Sunday morning. Children check in at Children's Welcome Desk enter at the  Children's building Entrance (the covered portico), then turn right and proceed to the Children's Welcome Desk. There you can register your children and get any questions answered. On Sunday mornings children from birth through first grade stay in Sunday school and extended care or mission friends the whole morning. They will enjoy age appropriate Bible centered lessons.
Children from second grade and up go to one hour of worship with their parents, and one hour of Sunday School. For more information please go to our Children's Page.

Worship Times
Take a look at our Worship Schedule page for the most complete information, but in a nutshell, we have two types of worship services. They both occur at 9 & 10:30 am. (Easter Sunday and December 25 are exceptions)

Worship Locations
We have two worship locations: the Sanctuary, and the Community Room. The Sanctuary is easy to find. It is at the front of the Church, and is and near the steeple. The Community Room, however, is a little harder to find. It was made by renovating some of our upstairs classroom space and creating an intimate venue for our worship service. You can find it by looking for the orange signs and banners that point you upstairs in the right direction. Just ask someone, they will be happy to help you get there.

Learn More
If you would like to be contacted, you will be given the opportunity to fill out a visitor card. We will give you a call and mail you some information about our church. If you would like go be informed of special events at our Church, fill out the email form on the right.
