Visiting Us
Welcome!
If you’re new to Peace, or if you’re just checking us out on the web, I’m glad you’re here. We care about inviting and welcoming new people, and I hope you’ll feel at home when you visit us.
On these pages, you’ll find information about our worship services, what’s happening for members of all ages, pictures from some of our recent activities, and a whole lot more. Browse the rest of our site or check out the FAQ below to find out more about us and what you can expect when you visit. We want to make it easy for you to check us out, and we want it to be enjoyable for you when you arrive.
Of course, the best way to know if PLC fits you is just to come and check it out. We’d love to have you join us for church this weekend.
Hope to see you soon!

What should I wear?
We’re more concerned with meeting your real-life needs than with what you wear! Dress comfortably, and you’ll fit in. At a typical service you will see people wearing ties or dresses, you will see people wearing jeans and tennis-shoes, and you will also see people wearing shorts and sandals. Wear what makes you comfortable!
Do you expect me to give money?
Absolutely not! As one aspect of our worship, we joyfully give back to God a portion of all we have – our time, our selves, and our possessions, but this is not expected of our guests. Just pass the collection plate along to the next person.
Will I have to do anything weird?
No. When you arrive, someone at the door may greet you and shake your hand; there will also be a time during the worship service when we pause to greet one another, and it is likely that several people will smile and shake your hand or introduce themselves, but that should be the extent of the “pressure”. You will not be singled out, publicly introduced, or otherwise identified as someone new. You can just be part of the crowd and be as anonymous as you like. Participate as much or as little as you want.
Similarly, we stand for some parts of our worship service and sit for others. These sections are marked in the worship bulletin and often indicated by our worship leaders. If you prefer to remain seated throughout the service, that’s fine too.
Where do I park?
We have lots of convenient parking right outside our church. The main entrance is on Century Avenue. In some cases, we may also park on O’Malley Street.
How accessible are your services?
We strive to make our church and our worship services as accessible as possible. Our entire site is wheelchair accessible, and a wheelchair is available at the front door for those who need it. We offer large-print bulletins and personal hearing devices. If walking up to the altar for communion would be a physical challenge for you, please speak with an usher and the pastor will come to you for communion where you sit.
Absolutely! Sunday school takes place between worship services, so you will see many other children in the sanctuary during worship. Children are invited forward for a special story or message just before the sermon. We also have a fully-staffed nursery for those children who are too young or just need a break from the worship service.
Where can I get my questions answered?
If you have questions while visiting us, just contact an usher.
If you have more questions before you visit, you can call or email us. Just go to our Contact page.
