What to Expect

Whether this is your first time or you’ve been coming for weeks and just haven’t taken that next step to get connected, we invite you to swing by the Welcome Desk outside the Sanctuary so we can get to know you, give you a welcome gift, and begin to assist you and/or your family in getting connected. And if you don't have your own personal copy of the Bible, be sure to snag one from the lobby desk—it's yours to keep!

If you’re looking for the best way to build community, this is a fantastic next step. No matter where you’re located, we have an Engage Group that would love to welcome you in. And there are a variety of men’s and women’s Bible studies available throughout the year as well! Connect with Hunter Wolfram for more information!

Come learn about our theological beliefs, vision for the church, various ministries, and opportunities to be connected. Whether you just want to learn more or are interested in becoming a member, we’d love to have you. Our next Discover CCC class is planned to take place during the Equip hour on Sunday mornings in Fall 2026. Questions? Please contact Pastor Hunter Wolfram.   

We have reserved visitor spaces just for you close to the building outside the main entrance. You’ll see people mingling and chatting when you walk in, so feel free to show up a few minutes early and grab a cup of coffee or stop by the Welcome Desk—that’s where we have your welcome gift, and where you can get a nametag if you want one.

All of your kids, regardless of their age, have age-specific nursery or Equip classes at 9:00am they can attend. They are also welcome to join you for the entirety of the worship service at 10:30am, but we do have some age-specific classes available as well. See below for more details.

During Equip Classes @ 9:00am (resuming September 13)

6 months–23 months
Nursery is available for infants and babies aged 6 months through 23 months. Our Kids Wing greeter will point you to the correct room. You will have the option to pick your child up after Equip classes end or leave them in the nursery rooms up through when the worship service concludes.

2s–5th grade
Kids Equip Classes, separated by age, are available for all kids from 2 years old through 5th grade. The Kids Wing greeter will guide you and your child to the appropriate room. You will have the option to pick your 3-year-old and younger child up after Equip classes end at 10:05am or after the worship service concludes at 11:45am. Kids in the Preschool class and older will need to be checked out by a parent after Kids Equip classes end at 10:05am. 

6th–12th grade
The Student Equip Class is available for all middle and high school students. 6th–12th graders are checked in with the rest of their families, but can then go to the Glass Room (right off the Commons), and do not need to be checked out or picked up by a parent. They will be dismissed from their class to either find a parent or go to the Sanctuary.

During the Worship Service @ 10:30am

6 months through 3 years
Nursery for kids from 6 months to 3 years are available. They can be dropped off before the worship service starts at 10:30am, or at any point during the worship service as well. If they were in the nursery during the Equip hour, you are not required to pick them up between the conclusion of that class and the start of the worship service. The Kids Wing greeter will guide you and your child to the appropriate room.

4 through 6 years
All 4- to 6-year-olds will start in the Sanctuary at the beginning of the worship service at 10:30am, and will be dismissed to the main lobby to meet their Kids Worship teachers after the offertory, which is typically between 10:50-11:00am or so. They can be picked up from their classroom after the worship service concludes at 11:45am.

2nd–12th grade
All kids from 2nd grade through 12th grade are invited to worship with their families for the duration of the worship service. Kids Bulletins are available in the back of the Sanctuary to help younger kids participate in worship—one for early or non-readers, and one for more confident readers. Our hope is that kids and students will fully participate in the church-wide worship service with their families.

Whatever allows you to fully engage in worship! At Christ Community, you’ll see a wide range—some will be in their suits and ties or fancy dresses, and others will be in a t-shirt and shorts. Our focus is Jesus, and He welcomes us as we are.

Just yourself! You’re welcome to bring a Bible, but you’ll have easy access to one in the seats of the Sanctuary if you forget yours or don’t have one. All lyrics and liturgical elements are displayed on our screen, but you are welcome to also grab a bulletin from the Welcome Desk or the table at the back of the sanctuary, which contains the service order, lyrics, and responsive elements.

It’s possible one of our eagle-eyed members might recognize a new face and come over to introduce themselves, but generally you’re the one in control of how much you’d like to interact with others on a given Sunday. 

The Welcome Desk has a place to sign in and get a nametag, but you can also slip past and take a seat wherever you’d like in the Sanctuary without one. People will be chatting before the service begins and after it ends, but no one’s going to stare and point at you if you’d rather keep to yourself. That being said, we think one of the most wonderful things about Jesus is the way that He creates a place of welcome for those who are new, and so we hope that someday—whether it’s in a few weeks or 6 months—we’ll have the privilege of meeting you and reveling in His heart of welcome together. 

In early 2026, the Session formed an ad hoc committee of elders, deacons, first and second service attendees, and staff to study the various aspects and considerations of having one vs. two worship services. After a season of prayer, robust discussion, data collection, and interviews with ministry leaders, the committee made a recommendation to the Session to transition to one worship service. The Session decided, following much prayer and deliberation, that it was best for the unity of our church body to accept the committee’s recommendation and transition from two worship services to one service.
