We have been steadily growing over the past year, and are currently averaging over 1,000 adults in our 9 & 11am services. We are reaching capacity for seating in the Worship Centre, parking in the parking lot, and space for kids in NLCC Kids.
We want to maintain our values of intergenerational worship and time for prayer and community in our gatherings, and an evening service allows those values to continue to be lived out. We hope 5pm will give the most flexibility for families, seniors, and young adults alike to attend.
No! All three of our Sunday Gatherings have the same preaching and worship experiences and follow the same NLCC Kids curriculum.
We offer NLCC Kids programs for Kindergarten to Grade 5.
We will be offering our Middle School program at the 5pm service (Grades 6-8), but High School Youth's Sunday Gatherings will continue to be held at the 11am only. High School students are welcome to join the service when they attend the 5pm.
Of course! In fact, we will need more people to use their gifts to serve the church as we add another gathering.
You bet! (Serving decaf so we don't keep you up all night).
Much of our Walnut Grove staff team already works on Sundays as part of their regular work weeks, so a morning/evening rotation will be in place to ensure our staff aren't burning out!
