FAQS

Don't feel like you have to dress up. Most people dress in casual clothing, but you are welcome to wear whatever makes you comfortable. We are much more interested in who you are, not what you're wearing.

There are additional parking spaces available in the Storage Choice parking lot directly beside our and also in the Hair Station parking lot next the the driveway entrance to our parking lot.

How long is the gathering?

Our worship gatherings are around 65-75 minutes in length.

Will there be activities for my birth-kindergarten?

Yes, we invite you to bring your birth - kindergarten age children in LittleLIFE for them to experience God on their level through playtime, Bible stories, and music. We will serve them a snack during the hour they are in our care, but only after everyone has used hand sanitizer and any relevant surfaces are cleaned.

Will there be activities for my 1st-4th grader?

Yes, we invite you to bring your 1st-4th grader in KidLIFE for them to experience God on their level through games, videos, music, and Bible stories. We will serve them a snack during the hour they are in our care, but only after everyone has used hand sanitizer and any relevant surfaces are cleaned.

Will there be activities for my 5th-6th grader?

Yes, we invite you to bring your 5th-6th grader to 56LIFE. 56LIFE serves as the bridge for our 5th & 6th graders from KidLIFE (1st - 4th grade) to StudentLIFE (7th - 12th grade). This bridge gives them the opportunity to hang out with their friends and grow in their understanding of God, the Bible, and their faith in a gender-specific small group setting. 56LIFE meets during the 9:15 gathering and then attend the 11:00 gathering together.

Will there be activities for my 7th-12th grader?

Yes, we invite you to bring your 7th-12th grader to StudentLIFE. StudentLIFE meets on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:00pm, to connect with other students and Jesus through teaching, games, worship, small groups, and hangouts. StudentLIFE also meest on Sundays. It is called StudentLIFE Extra. This is an additional opportunity for students, grades 7th - 12th, to gather on a Sunday morning to build community and study the Bible. They meet each week during the 11:00 gathering. SL EXTRA is not meant to be a replacement for corporate worship, but it is an experience meant to ease in and encourage students to join the larger spiritual body, as Scripture reminds us in Hebrews 10.

Will my kiddos be safe?

Our team is made up of background-checked, loving individuals who are ready to welcome your child. We use a check in system that prints a sticker for each child with their parent's name and number listed on it. Parents are given a matching sticker they must present in order to check their child out. This prevents children from going home with the wrong person! The sticker your child has also has any known allergies listed to make sure your little one is always safe. You can even skip the new family registration check in line by pre-registering your family!

What if I'm not ready to come in-person?

That's ok! We still provide ways for you to be a part of the gathering online. The gathering will be available through YouTube and Facebook each Sunday at 9:15 & 11:00am.

Can I attend if I'm _______?

Fill in the blank with whatever fear you have about not being accepted: divorced, single parent, broke, recovering addict, LGBTQ+, atheist, skeptic, etc. Everyone is welcome to come to the The Exchange gathering. So come as you are, and we'll see you on Sunday!

What if I need ASL Interpretation?

Our church family is blessed to have people with a passionate desire to share the truth of God's word with the Deaf community and help them encounter a loving church family! The Exchange is categorized as a Deaf Accessible church. That means Deaf people have access through an interpreter in a hearing service.

Our ASL Interpreter is available during the 9:15 gathering. If you are a part of the Deaf community we would love the opportunity to connect with you, answer any questions you may have, and help connect you with our church family.
