MORE THAN A SUNDAY

At First Church of God, “The City,” we’re building a city —a place to belong, grow in faith, and experience the love of Jesus Christ. Through our witness, worship, and work, we serve our community and help people of every generation grow in their walk with God. Wherever you are on your journey, we welcome you with open arms.

LET’S MAKE THE FIRST VISIT EASY

YOUR FIRST VISIT.

A little clarity makes it easier to walk through the door. Here are the details to help you plan your visit.

01 When should I arrive?

Sunday service begins at 10:00 AM, and we recommend arriving 15–20 minutes early so you can settle in without feeling rushed. You’ll have time to find a great seat, check in your children, and meet a few friendly faces. We look forward to welcoming you and helping you feel at home!

02 Where should I park, and which entrance should I use?

We offer open parking, with armed and unarmed security personnel helping watch over the parking areas and your belongings while you worship. All entrances are wheelchair accessible, and whichever side of the building you arrive on, you’ll have access to the areas you need, including kids’ check-in. We’ve designed our building to make getting around easy, and our team is happy to help you find your way!

03 How long is service, and what can I expect?

Our service typically lasts about 1 hour and 50 minutes, including worship and the message. We express our worship in many ways—through prayer, song, preaching, communion, and baptism. You can expect a welcoming atmosphere where you’re invited to participate as you feel comfortable.

04 What should I wear?

We’re a come-as-you-are church! We believe your Sunday best looks different for everyone—whether that’s jeans and a T-shirt or something dressier. Whatever you wear, we welcome you with open arms and look forward to seeing you!

05 Is there something for my children?

We have something for the whole family each week, with children’s and youth ministries serving infants and toddlers through age 18. Our team is happy to help you find the right group and guide you through check-in.

Our chapel is also open to families who prefer a quieter setting with fewer distractions than the main sanctuary. With easy access to restrooms, this space may be especially helpful for children with sensory sensitivities, including autistic children and those with other support needs. We want every family to feel welcome, comfortable, and included.

WE ARE READY YOU'RE ARRIVAL!
See you Sunday at 10:00AM.
