Parking

When you enter the parking lot, the main entrance is between the church sign and the Adventure Park sign on Lambs Gap Road. There is a covered drop-off area and parking for those with disabilities near the main doors. The main entrance is marked by our mission statement: To love God, to love God’s people, to love God’s world.

Kid's Check In

We want to provide a loving and safe environment for your children, and there will be children’s ministry volunteers to help you register & check in your child for children’s worship. You are welcome to walk thru the children’s wing with your child and see the classrooms and worship areas that they will be in during the services, as well as meet the teachers and volunteers in this area. There are children’s programs and nurseries for all of our worship services from start to finish (birth through 5th grade). 

Watch Check-In Tutorial

Cafe

As you enter our campus you will walk into a large lobby area with a small café area. Because we are a very active congregation, our lobby is often filled with display tables and/or community service projects. Someone will be there to greet you as you enter. Coffee and refreshments are free, so make yourself at home. You are welcome to take your coffee in with you during the service.

Music

The worship team leads the congregation in several songs. Our music is usually pop/rock oriented. We usually stand during congregational singing. The worship leader will let you know when to stand or sit. Please don’t feel like you have to sing. Some folks will clap their hands and others might raise their hands in worship to God. All of this activity is totally your choice.

Bible-Based & Practical Teaching

Sometime during the worship service, one of our pastors will deliver a message or sermon. There will be a pastor speaking live at each campus every Sunday. Our sermons are Bible-based and practical (click here to listen to current and past messages). Sometimes at the end of the message the pastor will invite people to make decisions and commitments in response to the teaching. This is usually called Next Steps. If you feel called to do so, you are welcome to respond.

Communion

Every Sunday we remember Jesus and celebrate our unity in Christ and hope of eternal life by sharing in Communion at some point during the service. Usually, someone will share a brief meditation to help us prepare our hearts to take communion, which will then be passed down each aisle. If you wish, you may take a wafer and cup of juice and consume them when you are ready. Communion cups will be collected later in the service. You do not have to a member of Vibrant to partake of communion. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ you are welcome to join us. You also do not need to feel compelled to take communion. Communion is also available at the cross at the front of the room.

Welcome Bags & Guest Services

You are welcome to stay for coffee after worship. There are also guest gift bags in the lobby near the front doors. Please stop by and pick one up before you leave. If you have any questions or need any help during your visit, please stop by the Guest Services desk near the auditorium entrance and someone will be there to assist you.
