WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
When you arrive on campus, you’ll see a front and side entry. You will want to enter through the front. One of our members will meet you in the lobby where you can get yourself a cup of coffee at our coffee bar. If it’s your first time to our church, you’ll receive a small gift and connection card. Our service starts at 11:00 and will last a little over an hour.
If you are coming with children, we have a nursery for children 4 years of age and under and a kids club that dismisses after the first part of our service around 11:25. They will have an activity time, hear a Bible lesson on their level, and enjoy a snack.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
One of the biggest concerns people have today when considering heading to church is what they should wear. We want to put your mind at ease; at Briarwood you’ll be welcomed no matter what your attire. Many of our people are casual in jeans and T-shirt, some in khakis and a polo, and a few may be slightly more dressy in a tie, etc. All that to say, it doesn’t matter. We want to worship the Lord and focus on Him, so come as you are.
DO I NEED TO GIVE?
Of course not! We never pressure our people to give in the offering. We believe that 2 Corinthians 9:7 encourages believers to give cheerfully as God leads them in their heart, and not in response to pressure.
WHAT ABOUT MY CHILDREN?
All kids 5 years old-6th grade are dismissed around 11:25 from the service to go to Kids Club; they’ll receive a snack, enjoy an activity, and hear a Bible lesson. If your children would rather stay with you, that would be fine too.
Our nursery is available for children 4 and under for the entirety of our service. You can take advantage of that as soon as you arrive so you can get some coffee, find a seat, and enjoy the service.
