Sundays at LFC
Visiting a church for the first time can be a little daunting. Where do I go? Where do my kids go? Is it safe? What will the music be like? What is the teaching like? What will people be wearing? These are all valid questions to ask when looking for a new church. Here is a brief run-down of what to expect at Lafayette Federated Church.
Parking
First of all, parking is plentiful, so you should have no problem finding a spot. When you arrive at the church building, we encourage you to drive to the top parking lot that is behind the church. We have designated visitor and handicap parking spots, and the door leads right into the lobby, sanctuary, and adult classroom level. Our facilities are wheelchair accessible.
Nursery
We provide safe, loving nursery care for infants through 2 year-olds during the Worship Service and Sunday School. The nursery is located on the upper level, near the sanctuary and adult classrooms, in Room 205. When you arrive, please check in your child at the Welcome Center. You will be given a matching identification sticker, and we will request your cell phone number in case you need to be contacted. All nursery rooms can be viewed anytime on a monitor located in the hallway right outside the nursery entry. All of our nursery workers have had safety training and background checks. For your convenience, a nursing mother’s room is available next door to the nursery.
Our Worship Services
When you enter the sanctuary for the worship service, you will be greeted by greeters and ushers who can answer many basic questions you may have. During the worship service, we dismiss children ages 3-9 to Kid’s Church. Our worship style is a blend of traditional hymns and modern worship songs, and the service lasts around 1 hour and 15 minutes. Our goal in worship is to exalt the Lord’s name together, focusing on Him rather than our preferences and personal tastes. The sermons are from the Bible, with the goal of applying God’s unchanging Word to our everyday lives. Finally, please feel free to wear whatever you are comfortable with. There will be people worshiping together in everything from suits and ties to very casual dress. We care about you, not what you wear!
Sunday School
Sunday School classes are available for all ages: Children, Youth & Adults
Classes begin at 10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. The children’s classrooms for Sunday School are on the lower level of the church. All grades and classrooms are listed under the directory sign near the lower level entryway by the gym.
