What Can You Expect on Your First Visit

It can be a little scary to walk into a large church campus and not know what to expect, so we would like to calm any nervousness you may have. Here's a little of what you can expect at Asbury on a Sunday morning. As you drive onto the campus, you are going to see special guest parking and handicap parking areas and be greeted by one of our many Ambassadors that serve on Sunday mornings as you enter one of our five buildings on our campus.

If you have children you are welcome to make your way to one of our age-appropriate nurseries or classes. As you approach the children's area either at our Grace Building (up to Kindergarten) or at our Hope Building (1st-6th grade), you are asked to register your child into our Parent Page System - this merely serves as a security mechanism that protects the children. Both you and your child are given an identity badge with a security code that allows you to pick up your child. Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to make sure you have time to register your children. If, however, you would like to worship with your child, please know that they are welcome in any of our services.

Sunday School classes are held at 8:45 and 10:30. Our traditional services held in the Sanctuary start at 8:45 and 10:30. You can wear casual clothing or dress up in your favorite dress and suit and tie. Our aCross Generation contemporary worship services, held in the Grace Building, are very casual. Whether you worship in the Sanctuary or in the Grace Worship Center, you will find an exciting and compelling presentation of Biblical truths in word, song, and prayer. Before, in between, or after the services you can meet and mingle with other Asbury family members or have a cup of coffee in our Hospitality Area near the Sanctuary or in the Grace Concourse outside the Worship Center. While in a service, please fill out the Welcome Card in the pews or back of the chairs. You can note any specific information you would like on the back of the form and drop it in the offering plate/baskets during the service.

If at any time you have questions, please visit one of our Guest Services Areas in the area outside the Sanctuary or outside our Grace Worship Center. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our Asbury family! You can also attend our orientation called Start which is a 30 minute overview designed to help you gain a better understanding of who we are and what we do as the body of Christ and as a church.
