NEW BUILDING + SANCTUARY GUIDELINES 

As you get familiar with our new space, we want you to know this isn’t about strict rules. It’s about creating a shared understanding of what helps everyone experience a meaningful, distraction-free gathering. We believe environment matters. When distractions are minimized, people can fully engage with what God is doing, and when we put others first, it creates a space where everyone benefits.

That’s the kind of church we’re building together!

As you read through the details below, know that our team is here to help every step of the way, offering guidance when needed with kindness and grace.

Our New Space & How We Gather

As we step into our new building, we’re being intentional about how we use it. Our sanctuary is set apart as a space for worship, teaching, and focused attention on God’s Word.  These guidelines exist for two reasons:

  • Reverence for God
  • Love for the people around you

Everything below flows from that.

SPACES AVAILABLE

We’re grateful to have more room than ever before. Every person has a place to engage:
  • Sanctuary – Primary space for worship and teaching
  • Selah Kids – Designed specifically for children
  • Mom’s Room – For nursing moms and infants
  • Family Room – Flexible space for families or specific needs
  • Overflow Areas – Cafe, foyer, and patio
