We're so glad you're here.
Walking into a church for the first time can feel intimidating — we get it. So here’s the deal: come as you are, sit anywhere, and don’t worry about a thing. We’ll save you a seat.
Plan Your Visit →What to expect.
Christ’s Church is for everyone. If you’re thinking about being our guest, we recognize there are a few things you might want to know! CCW is a place with open hearts and open doors. We’d love this to be a place where you and your family feel welcome.
The worship.
Modern worship led by a live band — guitars, drums, voices raised together. Stand, sit, sing, or just listen. There’s no wrong way to do it.
The message.
Bible-based, practical teaching that actually connects to Monday morning. About 35 minutes. Bring your phone or a Bible, if you don't own a bible, we have one for you!
The people.
You’ll meet folks who genuinely want to know you. Stop by the welcome center after the service and trade your connection card for a small gift to say thanks for coming. We also have complimentary coffee in the gym.
Sunday at CCW.
Two service times every Sunday morning. Same message, same worship, choose what fits your week. Plenty of parking, easy in-and-out.
Plan Your Visit →Bring the whole crew.
From newborns to teenagers, every age has a place. Safe, fun, age-appropriate — and your kids will probably ask to come back next week.
Kids
Babies, toddlers, and elementary kids have their own space with trained, background-checked leaders. Elementary kids are welcome in main worship serivce until dismissed to their class (Usually after communion). Secure check-in — only you can pick your child up.
Students
Middle and high schoolers get their own gathering during the 9 AM service — worship, teaching, and small groups built specifically for where they are. They’re welcome in the main service at 11, too.
You’re probably wondering…
Real questions from real first-time visitors. If yours isn’t here, just ask — (352) 596-1388.
What time should I arrive?
10–15 minutes early gives you time to park, get coffee, find the kids’ check-in if you have little ones, and grab a seat without rushing. If you fill out the “Plan Your Visit” form ahead of time, someone will be looking for you and will help you get oriented.
What should I wear?
Whatever’s comfortable. Some people wear shorts and flip-flops; some wear a button-down. There’s no dress code — we just want you here.
Will I be asked to give money or stand up?
No on both counts. Giving is for our regulars who consider this their church home — not first-time visitors. And we’ll never single you out or make you stand. Come, watch, leave when it’s done. That’s it.
Where do I take my kids?
When you arrive, depending on the age of your child there are 2 places to check in. Kids under 5 check in at basecamp located just left of the main auditorium doors. K-5th grade meets in Expedition Kids just to the right of the auditorium and down the long hallway. A volunteer will help you check in, get name tags, and walk you to the right room. The whole process takes about 3 minutes.
Is there coffee?
Yes. Free, in the Gym. There is also a variety of free treats and snacks available for purchase. Bring them into service if you would like.
What does “non-denominational” mean?
It means we’re not affiliated with a larger church organization or governing body. We follow the Bible, the example of the first-century church, and the leadership of Jesus. If you’ve been part of a Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, or any other tradition — you’ll likely find a lot that feels familiar here. For a deeper dive into what we believe be sure to sign up for a foundations class!
What if I have questions about faith?
Bring them. Doubt and questions are part of how faith grows — we’d rather you ask than pretend. After the service, our pastoral team is around to talk, and we have small groups built specifically for people exploring Christianity for the first time.
Ready when you are.
Tell us you’re coming and we’ll save you a parking spot, save you a seat, and have someone there to greet you when you walk in.
