FAQ’S for St. John’s Temporary Worship Location Starting January, 2027

God is building something big here.

Beginning January 10, we’ll temporarily worship in the Community Room while work takes place in our Worship Center. While our space and service times will look a little different for a season, we’re excited about what God is doing at St. John’s and about the opportunity to continue gathering together around Jesus. Join us on January 10th at 8:45 am or 10:30 am for worship!

This temporary season will give us a chance to worship a little closer together, build new relationships, and prepare for what’s ahead. Below are answers to some of the questions you may have as we make the transition together.

When are the dates we will be worshipping in the community room?
Beginning January 10, 2027, we expect to worship in the Community Room through the end of March. These dates are projected and may adjust as construction progresses. We’ll continue to keep everyone updated throughout the project.
Why are we going to worship in the community room instead of the gym?
We considered several options and believe the Community Room gives us the best environment for worship during this temporary season. The gym presents some significant acoustic and setup challenges, while the Community Room offers a more comfortable and inviting space where we can hear one another well, worship together, and continue building relationships.
The Community Room is smaller than our Worship Center, which is one reason we’ll offer two identical services each Sunday.
When will the service times be?
We’ll worship at 8:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Join us!
Why are the service times changing?
Because we’ll be worshipping in a smaller space, these times allow us to create room for everyone across two services while also giving our worship and volunteer teams the time they need to prepare the Community Room before, between, and after services.

We’ve also used similar service times successfully for Easter worship in recent years, which gives us confidence that this schedule can serve our congregation well during this temporary season.
What will worship be like?
Both services will be identical and will feature modern worship alongside familiar hymns. While the room will be different, we’ll continue gathering around God’s Word, singing, praying, and receiving His gifts together as a church family.
Will nursery care and Children’s Church be available?
Yes! Nursery care for ages 0–3 and Children’s Church for ages 4 through 4th grade will be available at both the 8:45 and 10:30 am services.
