Next worship service
A neighborhood church on the East Side of Kansas City. Gospel choir, Bible teaching you can use on Monday, and a fellowship hall that always smells like coffee.
Service times
Both Sunday services are the same sermon. The 8:00 is quieter and shorter; the 10:45 has the full choir. Wednesday Bible study meets in person and online.
Plan a visit
Walking into a new church is a lot. Here is exactly what happens, so nothing is a surprise.
Enter from Elm Street. The first two rows are saved for first-time guests and anyone who needs a shorter walk.
Accessible parking at the side doorGreeters meet you at the front doors. They’ll walk you in, show you the restrooms and help you find a seat.
Nursery through fifth grade check in at the table left of the doors. Each family gets a matching tag, and only the person holding it can pick up.
All volunteers are background-checkedThe choir and band lead for about twenty-five minutes. Stand, sit, clap or just listen.
We’ll say hello to guests. You won’t be asked to stand up or speak.
About forty minutes from the pastor. Outlines are in the bulletin if you like to take notes.
On the first Sunday of the month, we also share communion. Anyone who follows Jesus is welcome to take part.
Down the hall to the right. Stay five minutes or an hour. Somebody will probably offer you pound cake.

What we believe
We believe the Bible is God’s word, that Jesus is who he said he is, and that grace is for everybody, starting with us. We’re a nondenominational church, and the full statement of faith is one page long. Ask for a copy at the welcome table.
