I'm New
 What should I expect

Enter the sanctuary through the glass doors on either the east or west side of the church near the parking lots.  The east and west sanctuary entrances have handicap-button-activated doors. Evan UMC is a handicapped friendly building, allowing differently-abled persons almost full access to the church building.   Note that the office area entrance has three steps just inside the door leading to the hallway.  During office hours, a doorbell, located on the outside office entrance, can be used to let the office know you are there.  The beautiful trio of double doors in the front of the building are rarely used since they aren't as close to the parking lots, plus there are steps just inside that entrance.  There is an elevator near the lobby area that goes to the second-floor education wing or to the offices for The Bridge UMC.

Restrooms are located on both floors.  On the main floor, they are between the Sanctuary and the Fellowship Hall.  Follow the overhead signs.

During worship, we offer wireless hearing assist devices for those who need them.

Dress varies from casual to a bit dressy.  Wear whatever suits your style and is comfortable.  Just come! 

 A typical service will last about 60 minutes and follows a traditional format.  The message is Bible-based.  We sing traditional songs with occasional contemporary songs.   Beautiful music is offered on organ, piano, and special music.  A screen displays words to the readings and songs, which are also found in the bulletin or in the hymnals.  Activity booklets are available during in the Worship service for children. Or, from September to May, children may choose to go to KIDS ZONE for a Bible lesson.  Parents may use the nursery and listen to the service there.
