Sunday Worship Impact When will the new Worship Times be implemented? We plan to launch this new Worship Schedule on Sunday, March 5, 2017, pending the completion of the Worship Center. If the renovation can’t be completed by March 1, 2017, the new times will start in early summer. The new schedule and the timing of the renovation will be confirmed by the end of December 2016. What happens to the 11:10 a.m. Contemporary Worship in the Sanctuary? All Contemporary Worship services will take place in the Worship Center. The new Worship Center will hold up to 500 people and can accommodate our current worshipping communities as well as provide for growth. This will be a sacred space made for Worship. What happens to Children and Youth Sunday Schools? Children and Youth Sunday Schools will meet at 10 a.m. Look for more detailed information in the New Year. What happens to Adult Sunday Communities? Each Adult Sunday Community will have the opportunity to worship-link to a Worship time. As each Sunday Community works with its leaders, we encourage you to look for more detailed information in the New Year. Check out the FAQ available online, at the Plaza Reception or in the First Pres Library for further information!

Big. Bold. Decisions. The decision to change the times of Sunday Worship, made after much prayer and discernment, allows First Pres to simplify, elevate and invite.

NEW WORSHIP TIMES Sanctuary Blended with Choir 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Worship Center Contemporary, band-led 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Simplify: It is easier to remember times that start on the hour or half hour, and easy-to-remember Worship times help all of us. It’s simple! Elevate: Moving the Worship Band from one room to another every Sunday morning compromises our ability to provide our best Worship experience, as well as our ability to innovate in Contemporary Worship. Excellence and creativity in Worship demands a consistent setting. Elevate.

Timing Worship Center. Fellowship Hall will be converted into a Worship Center. Renovation is scheduled to begin in early January so the new center can open on March 1, 2017. More to come, including the precise schedule. How many people will the new Worship Center hold? We will be able to seat up to 500 people when the Fellowship Hall is converted into the Worship Center. Will the new Worship Center be available as multipurpose room? Yes. While the Worship Center will be designed as a sacred space, we plan for the room to be used during the week for large ministry gatherings. Will Fellowship Hall be used during construction? No. Once construction is under way, Fellowship Hall will be unavailable. First Pres Staff is working on alternate rooms and plans for the various ministries including Sunday Worship and will work with each individual ministry to determine the best plan in this interim period. Will there be any changes to Fellowship Plaza? Yes, we are working on combining the design of both spaces to work together to enhance hospitality on Sundays and during the week.

Invite: It is easier to invite the community to Worship when you can depend upon the following: ›› Live preaching by the Lead Pastor in all services ›› Commitment to excellence in all that we do ›› Great hospitality and follow-on activities designed for each worshipping community.
