BUILDING + SANCTUARY GUIDELINES 

As you get familiar with our 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 Space & How We Gather

As we gather in our building, we want to be 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 this.

SPACES AVAILABLE

Sanctuary
Our primary gathering space for distraction-free adult worship and teaching.

Selah Kids
A dedicated environment for children during service with age-appropriate learning.

Mother’s Room
A comfortable space for nursing moms and babies.

Family Room
A flexible space for families who need it, including those with unique needs.

Overflow Spaces
Additional areas such as the cafe, foyer, and patio are available when needed.

KEY GUIDELINES

Children Under 5
Our adult sanctuary service is designed as our primary gathering space for worship, prayer, and the teaching of God’s Word. Because of this, we want to create an environment where people can engage without unnecessary distractions.

For infants and toddlers (children under 5), we ask families to use one of our available family spaces during service:

  • Selah Kids
  • Mother’s Room
  • Family Room
  • Designated overflow spaces
These spaces allow children to be cared for in environments designed specifically for them while helping maintain a focused atmosphere in the sanctuary.

We are blessed to have spaces available for every family, and our heart is to serve both our children and those gathering to hear God’s Word.
Late Arrivals
We understand that sometimes arriving late happens. To help minimize distractions once service has begun, late arrivals may be directed toward seating near the back of the sanctuary.

Designated back rows may be reserved for this purpose.

If the sanctuary is full, our team will help direct you to one of our overflow spaces.
Movement During Service
Re-entry is allowed, but we want to encourage a culture of limiting movement once the teaching portion of service begins.

If you know you may need to step out during service, we encourage you to sit near the back or use one of our overflow spaces.

Whenever possible, we encourage everyone to use the restroom and take care of needs before service begins.

Our desire is simple: to love our neighbors by helping maintain an environment where everyone can listen, worship, and engage with God’s Word.
Food & Drinks

Food is not allowed in the sanctuary during services.

Drinks are welcome with a few considerations:
  • Metal water bottles or metal cups are not permitted unless covered with a koozie or silicone sleeve, as they can create significant distractions if dropped or bumped.
  • Drinks should have secure lids whenever possible.

Our goal is simply to keep the sanctuary clean and limit unnecessary distractions.
Doors

To help maintain a focused environment during worship and teaching:

  • Front sanctuary doors close once service begins
  • Back sanctuary doors close when the teaching portion begins.

This helps reduce unnecessary movement and allows everyone to remain engaged during service.
