What to Expect when visiting EPC
Parking options:
For those attending our Sunday School and worship services, you can park in one of two places:
On the street (MacDonald Road) in front of the Sanctuary (our main building). You can safely cross yard and enter the Sanctuary through the front doors.
Large parking lot at the side of the main church building. This can be accessed from either MacDonald Road or Justis Street. The main entry doors under the portico leads into our Welcome Center.
Entering our facilities:
As you enter the Welcome Area from the Hallway…
Our friendly greeters will welcome you and glad to assist you in any way possible.
You will find a Welcome Table, which has helpful information to enhance your visit. Also, if you are a guest, we have a gift we would like to give you, after the service, for visiting with us.
The Nursery area is on your left right after you enter the Hallway. you will need to sign your child in and share any special needs.
Continuing on straight ahead you will see a long hallway leading to the Sanctuary. Restroom facilities are available along this hallway.
During the morning worship service:
Dress attire is a range from dress pants to jeans and sport coats and ties to t shirts. You are welcome to come in what you feel comfortable in.
Our service length is approximately 70 minutes, beginning at 10:50 AM.
Music is a combination of traditional hymns with an occasional modern hymn and we encourage you to join in during the congregational singing. We are traditional in an untraditional world.
An offering will be received as our ushers will pass a plate down each row. If you are a guest, you may place “Guest Information” cards or “Prayer Requests” from the tear out section of the bulletin into the offering plate during this time.
The sermon will generally be a verse-by-verse breakdown of a passage of scripture and how this applies to our lives today, and last around 35 minutes.
Following the time of sermon, the service ends with the singing of a song and a prayer. The Pastoral Staff will either be at the front of the Sanctuary or at the back door if you would like to speak with one of them.
