Parking

There is ample parking outside the front of the building. If you have difficulty walking from your car to the church, a golf cart shuttle can pick you up and drive you to the entrance.

Worship

For 10:30 worship in the Sanctuary, enter the building through the south entrance (closest to M-59). The coat closet is to your left when you come through the second set of doors.

If you are joining us for the Easter Sunrise service (8 am) Blue Christmas (7 pm) or other special services, some are held in the Chapel. Enter through the North entrance (the furthest from M-59) and at the first hallway go right to the doors of the Chapel.

Greeters will be at the entrance doors to greet you, provide directions and help you find anything you need. Ushers are also available outside of the worship space to provide direction, help you find a seat, or to help guests with mobility issues. When you arrive, please fill out a name tag so that we can greet you by name. Name tags are found on tables outside the worship space.

Parents are asked to check children in before worship begins. Both you and your child will be given a name tag. Please bring the tag(s) with you when you pick up your child(ren) so that we can ensure everyone’s safety and security.

Dress

Feel free to dress comfortably for worship! God doesn’t care what you wear, although shirts and shoes (and pants) are the norm.

Refreshments

PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO COVID-19 REFRESHMENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

On Sunday mornings, coffee and light refreshments are available before worship. Refreshments are available on a table outside of the Sanctuary.

On Easter, breakfast is served from 9 am – 10:30 am. Come by after the Sunrise Service or the Sanctuary service for a delicious meal and hospitality.

Sunday School

Children begin at worship in the Sanctuary with their parents. Outside the main Sanctuary, doors are cloth bags with activities to help children follow along with the service. Early into worship, there is a Children’s Message, after which kids 5th grade and under are escorted to Sunday school by a children’s ministry leader. Children of all ages are welcome to remain in service if that is preferred by parents.

Central’s Sunday school is a nut-free zone.

Nursery Care

Children can be dropped off before worship in the nursery, which is located in the east hallway of the main floor. The nursery is clearly marked with signs.

Restrooms

Restrooms are located outside of the Sanctuary in the hallway that runs east from the gathering area outside of the Sanctuary. There is a men’s restroom outside of the easternmost doors of Fellowship Hall; the women’s restroom is just around the corner in the east hallway of the main floor. The Chapel is near Fellowship Hall, so if you’re coming to Chapel worship you may use those restrooms.

Welcome Gift

If you’re joining us as a guest we’d like to give you a welcome gift. As you exit the Sanctuary, please stop by the welcome table for a special gift.
