Over the last three years our church has seen an incredible amount of growth; in our commitment to our mission, in our reach in our community, and in our Sunday morning attendance. And where we have yet to reach the capacity of the Lordâs vision for us, we have reached the capacity of our physical space. Adding a third service gives us a greater physical capacity to share the gospel with our community and share discipleship with each other.
Temporary! In 2023 we launched a campaign to raise funds for a building expansion for the purpose of building a larger worship center and create more general space for our community. As we continue to trust the Lordâs timing and provision, a third service will temporarily allow us greater physical capacity so that we can continue to grow as a church. Once we build the larger worship center, we plan to return to a two service structure.
Where we offer different groups and options during the different services, our worship services will remain identical. This allows people to attend different services on weeks when their schedule changes and allows flexibility to participate and serve where needs arise.
We will have fellowship time between our first and second services from 9-9:30 AM and between our second and third service 10:30-11 AM.
One of the most important parts of worship in the church is the time we take to connect with one another. We have been providing an atmosphere for that between our services during what we call âfellowship time.â Now we get to offer two opportunities for people to build relationship together!

Yes! Our life group ministry offers an essential opportunity to grow relational connections with others in the church. Sometimes, having multiple services makes it difficult to connect and have conversations with people we enjoy being with, so we strongly encourage our people to participate in a life group that best suits them.
Life groups happen throughout the week, and new ones start regularly. We encourage you to keep a close watch on the Groups page for new groups starting.
On Sunday Mornings, we have three life groups meeting in the 9:30 hour as of January 1st. We have the ability to add three additional life groups in the 8:00 and 11:00 hours. If your life group would like to meet during one of those times or you are interested in leading a life group, we encourage you to reach out to Terry Heintzelman (Discipleship Director) to get more information. We will promote and update the church family if new groups get added to Sunday's 1st and 3rd services.

The intentional discipleship of our children and youth is a vital part of our church, and we are committed to providing quality care for our families!
During our 8 AM service, we will initially offer nursery care for children two years old and under, but we are looking forward to expanding our program for all ages in the near future.
At our 9:30 AM service, we will provide children's programming for kids up to third grade, a "tweens" Sunday school class for fourth through sixth graders, and a youth Bible Study class for seventh through twelfth graders. Sixth graders who wish to participate may attend the youth Bible Study class if they prefer.
The 11:00 AM service is identical to the 9:30 AM service; however, seventh through twelfth graders are encouraged to attend the main worship service. We do not provide a class for seventh through 12th graders during this time, at the moment

Each week, we will stream the 9:30 AM service live. We are fortunate to offer our services online for those unable to attend in person. A Digital Host will greet you during the service and answer any questions you have. We encourage you to say hello and let us know you're watching with us. After the 9:30 service, we will post our services on our Facebook and YouTube accounts, allowing you to watch at a more convenient time.
Serving is a central priority at SCN. We cannot fulfill the calling God has placed on us without our amazing volunteers. We strongly encourage everyone to find a way to serve the Lord through the various ministries offered at SCN. With three services on Sunday mornings, there is a significant need for volunteers, and the opportunities are endless.
Areas of service include, but are not limited to:
- Greeters
- Safety team
- Fellowship Time Hosts
- Production ministries (AVL focus)
- Childrenâs Ministry
- Prayer team
- And much more!
If you are interested in volunteering, please get in touch with the church office for more information or visit our volunteer page to let us know which areas you would like to learn more about.
