When & where

Sundays at 9:00 & 10:15.

Two identical services — pick whichever fits your morning. Each one runs about an hour. We’re on the east side of Carbondale, easy to find from anywhere in town.

What to expect

An honest hour, rooted in Scripture & song.

About 60 minutes from start to finish. Predictable, unhurried, and not performative — just a church gathering to worship and listen to the Word.

Walk in & breathe

Coffee in the lobby. A team member at the door will help you find your way in.

Honest worship

A few songs led simply. Sing along or just listen — both are welcome.

Clear teaching

A pastor opens the Bible and explains what it says and why it matters this week.

No spotlight

We won’t ask you to stand, raise your hand, or fill anything out from your seat.

What to wear

Come as you are. Really.

Jeans, flannel, Sunday best — whatever you’re comfortable in. You’ll see boots and ball caps next to button-downs and dresses. No one’s checking, and you won’t feel out of place either way.

Birth – 5th Grade · Sundays at 10:15

A place where kids laugh loud, learn big, and love Jesus — every single Sunday.

  • Background-checked team

    Every adult serving with kids has passed a background check and child-safety training.

  • Secure check-in

    Matching tags for kids and parents. Only you can pick your child up.

  • No drop-off pressure

    Brand new? Stay with your child as long as it takes to feel comfortable.

When you arrive

Three steps from your car to your seat.

  1. 01

    Park

    Pull into the lot off Grand Ave. Look for the marked first-time guest spots near the main entrance.

  2. 02

    Walk in

    Head through the main doors. A greeter will say hello and point you toward coffee, the sanctuary, or kids check-in.

  3. 03

    Take a seat

    Sit anywhere — sides, middle, back row. The whole room is for guests.

On your way out: stop by the blue Connect Wall in the lobby. We won’t put you on the spot — but if you say hello, we’ll have a small gift for you and an easy way to stay in touch.
Let us know you’re coming

Tell us a little about yourself.

Fill this out and a real person on our team will reach out with anything you need before Sunday — and we’ll be watching for you at the door.

Takes about a minute.

This Sunday

There’s a seat for you here.

Whether it’s your first Sunday in years or your first Sunday ever — we’d love to meet you. No pressure, no agenda, just a warm welcome.
