Sanctuary Procedures

We have a Platform Hoist for our sanctuary building.

• Upon arrival, you will enter from the parking lot. The entrance is labeled and on the back corner of the building.

• For Sunday worship, the Point Person’s phone number will be written on the door, and you can contact him/her if you would like help operating the lift. Directions for self-use are posted inside the elevator.

• Per our safety protocol, the parking lot elevator door is locked 15 minutes after each services starts (start times are 8:30am and 11am). Inside the building, the elevator is still operational and will access each floor, and you can exit the parking lot.

• The elevator entrance is in the hallway to the right of the stage. If you need to use the restroom during the service, please (!) feel free to use the elevator. You are not being a nuisance or distraction by using the restroom when you need to.

  • If you’d like to go to the restroom during a less conspicous time, we recommend during the Passing of the Peace or during communion. You can view our order of worship each week here.

Church Life Building Procedures

We have a LULA elevator. LULA stands for limited use/limited application elevator resembling a standard passenger elevator. They are smaller in size and designed to travel shorter distances. The average LULA elevator can hold 1 to 5 people and travel up to 25 feet, making them ideal for 2-3 story buildings, like ours!

• Elevator access is via the front, double doors. Turn immediately left upon entering to enter the elevator lobby.

• The elevator goes to all floors of the CLB.

• Each floor of the CLB has restrooms.
