LOCATION
We’re located at 733 Cross Street in historic downtown New Braunfels, near the McKenna Children’s Museum and Granzin Bar-B-Q. Our main parking lot is accessible from Guenther Ave. and Lee St.
PARKING & DROP OFF
Our main parking lot is accessible from Guenther Ave. and Lee St. Visitor and Handicap parking is available nearest the Sanctuary. Our friendly parking lot team members will be happy to help direct you to those spaces, and to where you need to go once you've parked. Our Welcome Center is located in our Sanctuary foyer, and the Welcome Team will be happy to help you.
Additional parking is available along the streets and in two annexes across Guenther Ave. from the church. There's an easy access drop-off zone in our main lot, under the awning nearest the Sanctuary. If stairs are not a problem, the Cross Street is close as well.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We open by singing together as a congregation, led by our praise team, band, and choir. Music varies from hymns to current worship songs. Song lyrics are projected on screens so you can sing along and/or engage however you feel comfortable. Services are just over an hour and also include a time of prayer and Scripture reading. Preaching is typically expositional, detailing the meaning of a passage of Scripture in context, exalting Christ, and calling the listener to action.
Yes! During the 11:00 AM service, an interpreter is situated at the front left of the Sanctuary as you walk in.
You'll see a variety of styles from casual to informal. You'll see gents in jeans, slacks, polos, button-down shirts, tees, and some in suits. You'll see ladies in jeans, trousers, capris, dresses, skirts, blouses, tees, sandals, boots, etc. You'll see more Sunday finest, particularly as we celebrate Christmas and Resurrection Sunday. Even in summer, if you tend to feel cold in air-conditioning, you might like to bring a light sweater, wrap, or jacket.
