Please see our Directions page for a map and some guides on how to get to our church

WHERE DO I PARK?

There is visitor and handicapped parking on the east side of the church. The back field is used as overflow parking and there is street parking on Dittmar and Abingdon Streets.

WHERE DO I GO ONCE I GET THERE?

The Sanctuary is where the 10:15 am blended worship service is held. The Sanctuary is located on the south end of the building, with pillars in front of the front doors and a steeple above the front doors. The entrance faces Glebe Road.

Our 9:00 am Sunday school classes are located throughout the building. Adults meet on the ground floor in the Fellowship Hall, youth are on the ground floor, and children are on the first floor. Use the Church Office Entrance on the East end.

IS THERE A SOMETHING FOR THE CHILDREN? AND IS THERE NURSERY?

During the 10:15 service, we have a nursery available for children three and under.

During the 10:15 service, children ages three through five are invited to Childrens Church following the childrens sermon.

Sunday School is provided for all ages - newborns through senior adults.

WHAT ARE THE SERVICES LIKE?

We have one blended service of both contemporary and traditional styles. 

DO I HAVE TO DRESS UP?

We truly are a church for all people. Our contemporary service tends to be very relaxed, and our traditional service tends to be more formal, but you will see everything from jeans to suits in both services. Please come in whatever dress will make you comfortable and ready to worship.

HOW LONG DOES THE WORSHIP SERVICE LAST?

The service lasts about an hour, with the majority of that time split between joyful congregational singing and a topical sermon from the pastor. The Lord's Supper is observed the first Sunday of the month.  There are also times set aside for prayer, a children's lesson, and church announcements.

AM I EXPECTED TO DONATE?

We do not expect our visitors to give, but we would love to have a record of your visit. It really helps us get to know you better if you would fill out the visitor card in the worship folder and place that in the offering plate. The reason we collect this information is that we would like to tell you about some specific activities and events that you might enjoy. You can also sign up to receive the church newsletter, if you wish.

HOW DO I JOIN THE CHURCH? AND WHAT IS THE INVITATION PART OF THE SERVICE ABOUT?

You are welcome to come to church regularly without formally joining. You do not have to become a member at Memorial to participate in worship, study and service. However, you may decide at some point that you would like to take the step of membership.

Each Sunday, at the end of the 11:00 service, there is a time of invitation. During this hymn you are invited to join the church or make a decision of faith. Simply walk down to the front of the sanctuary during the invitation hymn, greet the pastor, and let us know what decision you have made. If you have questions about joining the church or confessing your faith, you are invited to talk with any of our pastors during the week.

You can join the church in three ways:
