What you need to know
Have questions? We have the answers!
Our 10am worship service will be held in the sanctuary, and lunch will be served in the fellowship hall. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to join your friends on the front lawn or courtyard where you are welcome to picnic and socialize. The church campus will be alive with folks everywhere, so have fun!
We've got you covered! Ample parking will be available for our members and guests in the front and rear parking lots on the church campus. You can access the church driveways at 4706 Creedmoor Road, just north of Crabtree Valley Mall, or on Sugar Bush Road between Creedmoor Road and Leadmine Road in Raleigh.
Nothing. It's 100% FREE! We just want to see you there. Be sure to say hello!
Just keep it casual and comfy—no need to get all dressed up! But here's the scoop: we're also celebrating Spirit Fest, and we're going with a red theme! So, if you've got anything red in your wardrobe or accessories collection, today's the perfect day to rock 'em. Let's see how much red we can bring to the party and make this celebration one to remember!
If you're reading this, you're invited! Church members, visitors, friends and neighbors, we genuinely look forward to meeting each and every one of you. Please mark your calendars!
Yes! We'll have all sorts of games and activities for your children, such as a play land bouncy house for the toddlers, a "big kid" bouncy house and slide, cornhole, giant Jenga, and bubble-blowing stations for everyone! Bring the whole family and join in the fun!
We're fixing chopped BBQ pork, BBQ chicken pieces, hushpuppies, and an assortment of tea and soft drinks. Bring a side dish to share with everyone!
The Fellowship Hall kitchen will open at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 19. Kitchen helpers will be on hand to receive your food, and will make sure it is kept at a safe temperature while waiting on the festivities to begin.
See you there!
