There will be a few visitor spots available next to the church building in the afternoon, but those will be the only non-reserved parking spots during construction. If you need to come to the church during the day, please plan to park in the parking deck at 150 East Rosemary St. or call in advance to see if there are any other spots available. 

 

We look forward to worshiping with you!
