We’re excited to meet you!
We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking.
We want to help make your first experience at Colonial Church a great one.
4 Steps To Plan Your Visit
Step 1: When & Where
Every Sunday we gather at 10am.
We use two main buildings on Sundays. The northern building (shaped like a plane) is the main church building and the southern building (Building 242) is for the kids with our Café on the south side of the main building. While there is parking all over the campus, most people park in Lots B & C on the south side of the campus and enter through our Café on the south side of the main building.

Step 2: Check In The Kids
We believe our kids are the church of today and not just tomorrow and church should be fun! Because they are very important to us we’ve created a place specifically for them to learn about Jesus on their level and have a blast doing it.
During the gatherings all children from birth to 5th grade experience fun, safe, and age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in creative and exciting ways!
We make children's safety a priority as well. Because of that, we have a detailed check-in process. On your first visit, you’ll want to give yourself about 10 extra minutes to sign your kids in.

Step 3: Grab Some Coffee
On Sundays the coffee bar in the Café opens at 9:15 before the gathering and is open again after during until 11:45.
If this is your first time, stop by and have a free drink on us!
We know everyone likes their coffee a specific way so you have lots of options. Our coffee bar offers a variety of drinks including lattes, fraps, smoothies, and soft drinks. We have sugar-free syrups and alternative milks. Drip coffee is always free.
All proceeds and donations go to support our Student Ministry.
Step 4: Join The Gathering
Once you’ve dropped off your kids and grabbed a cup of coffee, join us in the auditorium. The Sunday gatherings usually lasts around an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. It usually begins with the band leading the church in music. The song lyrics are always projected onto the screens so you can sing along or engage however you feel comfortable.
After the music portion, someone from our Teaching Team will come with an encouraging and challenging teaching about Jesus and following Him. We generally use the NLT translation of the Bible. If you don’t have one, we would love to give you one! The main scriptures will be on the screen as well.
The gathering is casual and relaxed. Jeans and a t-shirt will fit right in.
