It’s an exciting time to check us out!

Our new building, located at the former site of the Ficco's Bowl-a-dome at 300 East Central Street, opened in June 2021.

We want your experience, from the moment you enter the parking lot to the time you drive away to be a positive and welcoming one. To that end, here are a few things you can expect on a Sunday morning:

 





Parking Team: Our hospitality begins before you even enter the building. Our Parking Team braves all sorts of weather to make sure the parking lot is a safe and stress-free zone. Please note there is one entrance and one exit in and out of the lot. If you have a special need, please let one of the people in the yellow vest know and they will assist you.

 

Greeting & Guest Services: As you enter the front doors, you will be greeted by a member of the Greeting Team. They are more than just a smiling face, however. They can help with any information that you need, from the location of the restrooms, to directions to Kids Zone to the weekly bulletin. Our Guest Services desk has information on volunteer opportunities, special events and more.

 

Cafe: It’s always hot. It’s always ready. Our cafe is what makes us 'a home away from home.' We’ll always have a hot cup of coffee ready so our guests can relax, recharge and connect.

 

Kids Zone: This is our fun and safe space for kids to from birth through 5th grade to get to know their Heavenly Father through activities and storytelling. Our host desk will be ready to register your child/ren, and let their morning fun begin. For more information on Kids Zone, click here.

 

Sunday Experience: There is a timely and meaningful message, as well as engaging music and videos. Our music and related content comes from a variety of mainstream and christian sources, and reflects traditional as well as contemporary styles. We celebrate communion the last Sunday of the month and baptism six times per year.

 

Prayer: We have several opportunities for prayer. In addition to prayers offered during the Sunday experience, we have a Prayer Table down the hall from Guest Services where several volunteers are available to pray with and for you. There is also a bowl in the main hallway where you can leave an anonymous prayer request. For more information or to submit a prayer request, email prayer@nechapel.org.
