Arrival

Once you arrive a member of our Guest Services Team will greet you to answer any questions you have and direct you where you need to go.

Light Refreshments

Feel free to help yourself to some free snacks, juice, and coffee at our foyer, which is open thirty minutes before service. This is a great time to get used to the feel of West Park and catch up with old friends and meet new ones.

Service Begins

Our adult and children’s services begin at 10:30AM so you will head into the auditorium. A greeter will hand you a guide with information about the current teaching series, a space for notes, and a connection card you can fill out to receive more information about the church.

Worship Music

Each service opens with inspiring, heartfelt music led by the Discover Worship Team. You can join in as you feel comfortable. We hope to sing songs that connect with everyone who attends and that leads them to a different place emotionally and spiritually than they were in before they attended.

Announcements

After the singing portion of the service our host will welcome everyone and share a few brief announcements if any.

Message Introduction

Immediately following the host you will see short video introducing the current teaching series followed by a simplistic teaching from the Bible in a conversational way that allows for learning, understanding and applying the principles and values to everyday life.

Close of Service

We close the service with the big idea which is an action plan and prayer .
