Is there something for my kids?

Whether you are returning to church, checking out church for the very first time, or a regular church attender who just moved to town, "What should I expect?" is a great question.

Here are a few answers to some common questions, if there are other questions feel free to ask it here.

What is your Weekend Schedule?

Currently, we have two weekend worship services.  Saturday evenings at 6:00pm and Sunday morning at 10:15am.  Family Groups gather at 7:30pm-8:30pm on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings at 9:00am-10:00am. Which service is best for you?  Click here

 

In addition, we have launched two off-campus Family Groups (learn more).

 

What should I wear?

On a typical weekend, you will find people in everything from shorts to jeans to suits.  Our Saturday evening service is more casual with most of those who attend wearing jeans.  Sunday mornings most folks who attend wear business casual.  Rest assured there is no formal dress code.  Our concern is not what is on the outside, but what is on the inside.  Come as you are!  Jesus accepts us as we are when we come to Him and we strive to do the same as a church family.

Where should I park?

We have reserved parking for first-time guests in our South parking lot - conveniently located along 43rd Street West.  General parking is also available throughout our campus.  Refer to our Location & Directions page for more information.

What about my children?

Your kids will love West Bradenton!  There's a place for newborns through high school students, including special times of worship designed for younger children.

How do I find a Family Group Group?

Take a look at our online breakdown of classes (here) to give you an idea of where you might want to attend.  On Sunday, stop by one of our Welcome Centers at our main entrances.  One of our Welcome Team partners will be glad to help get you connected.

Will I be able to find a seat?

Although we are a growing church, there is always a place for you to sit.  Sit wherever you like.  No one has a claim on a seat.  In fact, feel free to save a few seats for your family and friends!

May I bring my venti, four-pump caramel misto into church?

Yes!  But only if you bring one for the rest of us. (Just kidding!)

Feel free to bring your drink with you.  However, we do ask that you finish it before entering the Worship Center.  That is the only place food and beverages are not permitted.  Why not save your money and grab a cup of coffee at church?  We serve Barnies Coffee and it's free!
