Where do I enter the church?

You can enter any door and get to where you need to go.  If stairs are difficult for you, enter through the middle door under the portico.  Our elevator is steps away and can take you to any of 4 levels.  The sanctuary where church service is held is located at stop 2S.  If stairs are not a problem, you may enter the building by ascending the outdoor steps and enter the door on the far left of the building.  This will take you into the Narthex (a churchy word for foyer) where you'll be greeted and welcomed by someone and shown to a seat in the sanctuary.

I have a baby or toddler.  Should I bother coming to church?

We love babies and toddlers!  Of course, you should come!  You're welcome to bring your baby to the worship service. 

I was raised in another faith - can I still come to church?  (Or, raised with no faith)

Everyone is welcome, regardless of any or no religious upbringing.  Our congregation has varied backgrounds.  Come learn with us!  Holy Communion is open to all.

I've driven past the church on Sundays and your parking lot is full!  Where do I park?

We are fortunate to be located next door to the Pound Ridge Elementary school.  Parking is available there and there is a walkway and stairs that connect their property with ours.  The church also has 2 handicap spaces in the front.

I really don't want Christianity jammed down my throat, but yet, I sense that my life is missing something . . . I'm not sure what.

Come to Messy Church!

Do you offer communion and can I take it?

We have communion on the first Sunday of every month.  The table is open to anyone, regardless of denomination or no affiliation.  Children of any age are also welcome, although here we start them in 2nd and 3rd grade with a class so they understand. 

We want to get involved with the church, but we can't get there every week.  Is there pressure to do so?

We are thrilled to see you whenever you can make it.

What's a Jazz Vespers?

Vespers is just another word for a religious service in the afternoon or evening. And Jazz means that there will be Jazz music.  And, really, more music than anything else. We've had wonderful guitar players, trumpeters, and saxophonists and their bands.  The community is invited to this free concert where they may hear a prayer too.  It's free but a free-will donation is always appreciated. Stop in and enjoy!

Will I be welcomed?

We are thrilled to welcome everyone regardless of age, sex, race, ability/disability, sexual orientation or other.  The best way to fit in is to be here.  Volunteer for things.  Serve on committees.  Come to coffee hour.  Go out of your way to meet others.  Soon you'll have many friends and will fit right in!

Do I have to dress up?

We doubt if Jesus or his disciples dressed up.  We don't care if you dress up or not.  Some members of our congregation enjoy dressing up (suit jackets, dresses) but others just come as they are.  No one will look down on you if you don't dress up.  Of course, if you enjoy dressing up or need an excuse to dress up, by all means, do so.  We have air conditioning, but in the summer, shorts and sandals might work best.   We're really very accepting of all!
