Where should I park?
The main parking lot is located to the rear of the building. Parking
for the offices is in the front by the entrance to the north of the building.
There are designated spaces in the rear of the building for visitors (map),
seniors (map), and those
with handicapped  designations
(map). When looking at
the back of church from 12th Ave., the visitor parking spaces are the
closest ones to the building on the right (map).
Just inside the doors closest to the Visitor’s Parking Spots is
the Visitor’s Center (map).
Please come there first and we’ll help you find everything you’re
looking for. Additional parking during church events is available in the
lot across 12th Ave. behind the building. A shuttle runs before and after
church between the 12th Ave. lot and the church so people don't have to
walk too far.

challenging and practical message. For more details about this service,

Grades 1-5
Sunday Evening
6:00 p.m. in the main Chapel (map)
This is a smaller, more traditional service, where we sing 2-3 hymns,
and about 3 choruses. The pastor’s message is more of an in depth
Bible study/teaching style than the morning sermons. This service generally
lasts about 1 hour.
Wednesday
Evenings
6:45 p.m.
No matter what age you are, or where you are in life, there is a place
for you on Wednesday nights at the Woods! We strive to make Wednesdays
an engaging time to appeal to many – from children to youth to singles.
We offer classes for adults, junior high and senior high, and children:
nursery through 5th grade. For our children, our goal is to provide
spiritual depth at an age appropriate level.
So come and check us out. You will come away excited and closer
to Christ.

How should I dress?
For all of our services, we want you to be comfortable and wear what
you want. Generally, in our 9:30 and 10:45 Worship Celebration Services,
people wear what they are comfortable wearing to church. Some enjoy dressing
up as they have for years, wearing dresses and suits, while others prefer
worshiping in jeans and polo shirts.
However, in the Venue, it is more casual and jeans are almost all you
will see.
So, the bottom line – wear what you want. We just want you to
be there and enjoy your time with God and us.
