The Elevator:

  • A temporary wall will be built blocking the entire cloister hallway from the elevator to the Sanctuary. The elevator will only run from the 1st floor (Family Life Center floor) to the 2nd floor (Choir Room and children’s Sunday school floor). 
  • Those requiring elevator assistance:
    • Sanctuary Access: For persons requiring elevator assistance and need to access the Sanctuary, we would ask you to utilize the Valleyview doors, the side Sanctuary door or the lounge door for Sanctuary access. (You will NOT be able to access the Sanctuary using the elevators)
    • 2nd floor Access: For persons requiring elevator assistance, please use the Central Avenue doors to gain access to the elevator.

The Parking Lot: 

  • Where to park on Sunday:
    • Those with mobility concerns please use the following entrances:
      • Sanctuary side door (door #3) and Lounge door open on Sundays from Central Avenue parking lot
      • Valleyview doors from Valleyview drive spots
    • Please leave parking spaces closest to the building open for senior adults and those with mobility concerns. We greatly appreciate your act of kindness.
    • Please consider carpooling over the summer months
      • Our parking lot will be smaller than usual during construction. The new lot should be paved by Labor Day weekend. 

Children & Student Ministries (S.W.A.T.):

  • ALL Children's Ministries, birth through grade 5, meet on the 2nd floor.
    • You can access the 2nd floor via the stairway by the Central Ave doors and the Sanctuary, or via the elevators from the 1st floor, or the FLC floor.
    • Once you arrive on the 2nd floor, a volunteer will be waiting to assist families on where to take their children.
  • ALL Student Ministries (S.W.A.T.) take place in the Family Life Center classrooms. These rooms are ONLY accessible via the Family Life Center main doors.

The book of Ecclesiastes claims “there is a season for everything.” This period of construction is short, especially in light of what lies on the other side: a new facility, more spacious, more accommodating, and well equipped for a congregation living into God’s vision for the future which includes reaching younger families. Thank you for your grace and patience as we walk together into God’s preferred future for Epworth Church.
