Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to some of the most common questions about our new service times and church activities.
Why are we adding a third service?
To open more seats to newcomers, ensuring we can welcome everyone to experience the full live worship service.
What are the new service times?
Starting October 6, our service times will be 8:30am, 10:00am, and 11:30am.
Is Kids Ministry available during the 8:30 AM service?
During the 8:30 AM service, we encourage families to worship together in the West Venue. It’s a great opportunity for children to experience the service alongside their parents! Kids Ministry programs are available at 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM.
Are there any programs for Kids (Nursery - 5th Grade) available during the services?
Yes, Kids programming (Nursery – 5th Grade) wil be available during the 10:00am and 11:30am services.
Are there any services specifically for our Youth (6th - 8th Grade)?
Yes. Youth services (6th – 8th Grade) will now be meeting in the gym at 11:30am. We will have the same great service, worship, and small group activities as well as providing lunch!
I understand C3 will only be offering Kids Ministry in two of the three services (no Kids Ministry at the 8:30am service). Is that the permanent plan?
No, this is temporary. The plan is to provide Kids Ministry at all services. Our goal is to offer Kids Ministry during the 8:30 AM service by December 1. Recruitment is underway to make this possible while ensuring all safety protocols for our children are met. The faster we can rally volunteers, the sooner we can achieve this. Please consider signing up today to help us reach this goal!
Will there be a live pastor at all three in-person services?
Yes. A live pastor will be on stage for all three services for our in-person audience.
Will the online service feature live preaching?
The 8:30 AM service will be live-streamed for our online audience, featuring a live preacher on stage. Additionally, this service will be recorded and made available for playback later in the day.
Has C3 considered beginning an evening service in order to make more space on Sundays?
Yes. We are actively discussing options for launching an evening service!
My family has both middle school children and younger children. While we celebrate the middle schoolers being served lunch on Sundays and having a dynamic program in the gym during the 11:30am service, this presents challenges for attending church with younger children over the lunch hour. Are there any options to help us overcome this?
Yes. Our Youth Ministry has some ways to support parents in making this possible. Please contact our youth director, Andrew Biondolillo, for more information: [email protected].
