As you walk up to the front entrance on Ward Parkway, you should know that we expect company. When you visit, you'll join the other 60 or so adults who are visiting our worship services that day, either for the first time or as a repeat visitor. Isn't it nice to know you're not alone? Of course, many visit during the week, taking part in the wide range of activities we offer.

Since 1921, our congregation has welcomed people just like you with worship and caring that focuses on God and ministries that meet a variety of needs. We have a history of community involvement and strong service. Membership currently stands at 3,150.

You may have seen our church building on Ward Parkway as you traveled to or from the Country Club Plaza. Its tall exterior stone structure and large stained glass windows are a beautiful sight. Let's open the front door and I'll guide you through what we can offer you.

First, we come to an area marked Building Relationships. Building relationships describes the group life of the congregation. As our guest, be sure to take a look at the Home Fellowship Groups, Sunday School classes and YaWhose, a new ministry to those in their 20's and into their 30's.

Follow me to our right and up the stairs and we come to Bible Studies and Classes. Ours is a thoughtful faith. We want to learn and grow and discover. So, we offer many different ways for you to learn. Take a look at Discovery Class, which tells you more about our church, or "Enneagram of Personality Types," "Couple Communication I." Sound interesting? Don't forget our Bible studies as well.

Now, let me guide you down the corridor to our Serving Others section. Serving Others describes ways in which you can take part in putting your faith to work in concrete ways that benefit other people. Grab a hammer or tutor a child, lead a project or serve food to the homeless.

Included in our walking tour are several other areas that may be of special interest to you.

Our Wedding Ministry includes a marriage workshop, a PREPARE inventory, and Couple Communication I and Couple Communication II. Be sure to contact us well before your preferred wedding date. Our calendar fills up fast.

We host two weekday programs for children: Parents Day Out and Preschool. Both are excellent.

Our Youth Groups offer a full range of ministries for youth, grades 6-12. Sunday morning sessions are only a part of what our church offers.

Let's not neglect the Children's Ministries. Your child will love our new creative, interactive Sunday School plan we call "Fountains of Faith."

Other group meetings include: Boy Scouts, Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon.

Well, we've come to the end of the tour. Why don't you stop in and see what we're like or call 816-333-4917. We'd love to talk to you.
