We gather for worship in the Kennicott Park facility (4434 S. Lake Park Ave.) each Sunday at 10:00 am. We practice social distancing and masks are required. Kid City is available during the sermon for Pre-K through Fifth graders. We also live stream our service below and on our Facebook page.
In order to maintain social distancing and leave space for our guests, we are limiting our capacity on Sunday mornings. Watch this short video for more about how we are doing this. In October we’ll organize the church by birth months. Group One will be odd months (January, March, May, etc.) and Group Two will be even months (February, April, June, etc.). For families and friendship pods, choose one person in your group and stick with their birth month for October. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Amy.
