Making Room for More
As our church continues to grow, we want to make room for more people to encounter Jesus. Beginning Sunday, January 24, 2027, we're moving to three Sunday Gatherings, creating more opportunities for our church family to worship together and welcome others.
NEW SUNDAY GATHERING TIMES: Beginning January 24, 2027
8AM | 9:30AM | 11AM
Help us make room for more! Consider attending or serving at 8am to help create space for more people to join us each Sunday.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here's what to know as we prepare for three Sunday Gatherings.
-
We want to make room for more people to encounter Jesus each Sunday! As our Gatherings continue to grow, adding a third Gathering allows us to welcome more people while continuing to provide meaningful opportunities for worship, discipleship, and community.
-
Our new Sunday Gathering times begin on January 24, 2027. Starting that Sunday, we'll gather at 8am, 9:30am, and 11am, replacing our current 9am and 10:45am schedule.
-
Our liturgy will remain the same, but to accommodate three Gatherings, we'll make a few adjustments, including slightly shorter sermons and more efficient transitions between Gatherings. These changes will help us make the most of our time together while continuing to prioritize worship, biblical teaching, and community.
-
You're welcome to choose the Gathering time that works best for you and your family! We especially encourage you to consider attending the 8am Gathering. Choosing this earlier time helps create more space at our 9:30am and 11am Gatherings for guests, new families, and those joining us for the first time.
-
Yes! We'll livestream all three Sunday Gatherings at 8am, 9:30am, and 11am, so you can worship with us online at any of our new Gathering times.
-
Yes! Kids ministry will be available at 8am, 9:30am, and 11am. We're committed to helping kids and families encounter Jesus. While our overall Kids ministry offerings will remain the same, we'll adjust the number of classes and available capacity at each Gathering to accommodate the new schedule. We encourage families to arrive a few minutes early to allow time for check-in.
-
Our Student Ministry will move to 9:30am beginning January 24. This new time allows students to participate in Student Ministry while also attending either the 8am or 11am Gathering with their families.
-
Life Groups will continue meeting during their current part of Sunday morning, with slight adjustments to align with the new Gathering schedule. Groups currently meeting at 9am will shift to 9:30am, and groups currently meeting at 10:45am will shift to 11am.
Parents of students will also have the option to adjust their Life Group's meeting time to align with the new Student Ministry schedule at 9:30am.
Our desire is to make this transition as seamless as possible so Life Groups can continue building relationships, studying God's Word, and growing together.
-
If you currently serve at 9am or 10:45am, your serving time will shift to 9:30am or 11am. As we prepare for three Gatherings, we also encourage you to prayerfully consider serving at 8am to help us welcome and care for those attending this new Gathering.
If your Life Group meeting time is changing, we'll work with you to adjust your serving schedule so you can continue participating in both.
-
Absolutely! Adding a third Gathering also means we'll need more people to serve each Sunday. From welcoming guests to serving in Kids Ministry and other areas, there are many ways to help make room for more people to encounter Jesus.
We're especially looking for volunteers to serve at the 8am Gathering. Whether you're currently serving or looking for a place to get involved, we'd love for you to consider being part of a serving team!
-
One of the best ways to help is to approach this new season with a welcoming spirit. We especially encourage you to consider attending or serving at the 8am Gathering. By doing so, you're helping create more room for guests and families at our later Gatherings. You can also invite someone to join you, welcome new faces, and continue finding ways to serve and connect.
Adding a third Gathering is about more than creating additional space. It's about making room for more people to hear the gospel, encounter Jesus, and experience life in Christian community.
