When & Where
TIME
10am: Coffee & Connections – We get started at 10am to give you an opportunity to relax over a cup of coffee and get ready for the worship experience. Make your way over to the Essential Cafe and allow our staff to serve you a complimentary cup of premium coffee. If you have small children, the child care center is open during this time to give you an opportunity to check them in before the service. The coffee & connection time is an essential part of the worship experience giving you time to prepare for the service as well as meet some new people.
9 & 10:30am: Worship Experience – Worship at essential church is a multisensory experience. We use a blend of cutting edge videos, music, and creative presentations combined with Christian practices that date back to the first century. Each service is prayed over and designed to give you an opportunity to connect with God in a meaningful way. Child care is provided for children from birth through 4 years old during both service times.
10:30 am: Kid’s Fun Church - There’s a fun and interactive worship service & activity time for children ages 5 through 5th grade at 10:30am.
