Exceptional Circumstances

** Our regular worship service is The Church Without Walls on Sundays at 10:30am in Candler Park, picnic Pavilion 2. Exceptions being when:

  • There is extreme weather, so we move indoors to the chapel of First Christian Church of Decatur.
  • We perform our homeless ministry, which begins at 9am with us assembling hygiene kits in the same location as the regular Church Without Walls service.
  • There is a festival in Candler Park.
  • Another party has reserved picnic Pavilion 2, so we generally relocate down the hill to picnic Pavilion 1.

In all of these circumstances except the last one, we post a special notice at the top of our homepage announcing the relocation of that Sunday’s worship service.
