VISITOR INFORMATION
Where should I park?
We offer plenty of convenient parking for all Easter services.
Main Lots: There are three parking lot options - Front Lot, Gym Lot, and Children’s Lot. We kindly ask that you leave the front two rows closest to the Welcome Center doors for attendees with mobility issues.
Children’s Lot: This lot is in the back of the campus. If you are dropping off children, we encourage you to park there for the most convenient access to the Children’s Building.
Accessible Parking: Reserved accessible spaces are available near the main entrance and to the right side of the church before heading down to the Children’s Building. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to come to the front doors under the portico where our Welcome Team will be happy to assist you!
There will be a golf cart shuttle to assist those walking far distances.
Where do I go once I arrive?
For the Sunrise Service, turn to the LEFT as you enter the campus for the quickest way to the Outdoor Chapel.
There are multiple entrances around our campus, but if you’re unsure of where to go, we encourage you to come in through the main entrance under the portico facing Old Spartanburg Road. From there, you can easily make your way to the sanctuary. Please refer to the campus map for detailed directions and an overview of all entrances.
Kidz Worship is available in the Children’s Building during the 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM services for infants through 5th grade. We recommend parking in the lower lot near the Children’s Building. Infants through 4-year-olds meet downstairs, while Kindergarten-5th grade begin in their classrooms upstairs. Once you arrive, our friendly Welcome Team will be ready to help you check in your child(ren) and guide you to the sanctuary.
Where should I bring my child for childcare?
Each Easter service offers its own unique atmosphere as we celebrate the hope and joy of the resurrection together. The 6:30 AM Sunrise Service, held in the Outdoor Chapel, provides an intimate and meaningful start to the day as we gather in the quiet beauty of the morning. Following the Sunrise Service, everyone is invited to enjoy a free Easter breakfast in the gym. The 9:00 AM Traditional Service reflects the richness of classic worship with beloved hymns, choral anthems, and a reverent celebration of Easter. At 10:30 AM, the Contemporary Servicefeatures a full band leading worship, creating an energetic and uplifting experience for the whole family as we rejoice in the good news of Easter.
What should I expect during the service?
How long will the service last?
Each Easter service lasts about one hour, giving you plenty of time to enjoy meaningful worship without feeling rushed. It’s the perfect way to pause, reflect, and celebrate before continuing your Easter traditions.
Sanctuary doors open 30 minutes before the start of each service. We recommend arriving early to park, check in your children (if applicable), get some coffee, find a comfortable seat, and settle in before the service begins.
