WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

As you walk into our church, our warm and friendly greeting team will welcome you and guide you to the auditorium, restrooms, and if you have children: Lighthouse Kids. We wear name tags to make it easy and comfortable to have a conversation with one another. Delicious hot coffee is available in the atrium and it is free for everyone. If there is anything during your visit you may need, simply notify one of us wearing a Lighthouse Vineyard Church lanyard and we will get you taken care of. We absolutely love people no matter where you're from or what you've gone through and we look forward to getting to know you.



WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Most of us dress casually however feel free to wear what you feel is comfortable.



IS THERE A PLACE FOR MY KIDS?

We have a wonderful children's program called Lighthouse Kids which is for all children up to the sixth grade. It is a safe, age-appropriate environment where kids experience their own service, Bible lessons, as well as small group time. Children through second grade are checked-in from the beginning of service while third to sixth graders are dismissed to their classes after worship in the main auditorium has ended. Learn more about Lighthouse Kids.



HOW LONG IS THE SERVICE?

Service usually lasts 70 minutes. Our church service experience starts with our worship team leading us through a few songs of worship followed by announcements provided by our leadership team. Shortly after, a scripture-inspired message is provided by the speaker of the week to challenge us to live a more biblical and Jesus-shining life. ​ If you're visiting for the first time, make sure to stop by the Welcome Desk in the lobby once service ends. We would be very happy to meet you, answer any questions you may have, help you get connected and even provide you with a free gift.
