New Here?
Welcome to The Upper Room Fellowship!
We're so glad you found us! Whether you're just curious about church or looking for a spiritual community to call home, you're welcome at The Upper Room Fellowship. We understand that visiting a church for the first time can feel intimidating, so we've put together this guide to help you know what to expect.
What to Expect on Sundays
Family Worship Together
Our Sunday gatherings begin with everyone worshiping together—adults and children of all ages. We believe there's something powerful about families experiencing God's presence as one community. You'll hear contemporary worship music with lyrics projected on screens so everyone can follow along easily. Scripture readings are also displayed, so don't worry if you didn't bring a Bible. Feel free to participate however you're comfortable, whether standing, sitting, or raising your hands.
Coffee & Connection Break
After worship, we take a short break to grab coffee and greet each other. This casual time helps everyone—including first-time guests—feel welcome and connected. It's a perfect opportunity to meet someone new or catch up with friends. Don't worry—we never single out visitors or ask you to stand up and introduce yourself.
Message Time & Kids' Programs
Following our break, adults and youth remain in the sanctuary for the message, while children (birth through 5th grade) are dismissed to age-appropriate programs. Our nursery is open throughout the entire service for parents to use for infants and toddlers if needed.
Our messages are practical, Bible-based, and designed to help you live out your faith in everyday life. Each week, we explore how to know God more deeply, build healthy relationships, and discover our purpose.
Casual Atmosphere & Accessibility
Don't worry about what to wear—come as you are! You'll see people in everything from jeans to business casual. We're more interested in meeting you than what you're wearing.
Our building is fully wheelchair accessible with designated seating areas. For those with hearing needs, we offer the Listen Everywhere app that streams our audio directly to your smartphone or tablet—just bring your own headphones. The free app is available in both the Apple App Store and Google Play and works with both iOS and Android devices. If you have other specific needs, please let us know so we can better serve you.
Let us know you're coming by filling out our Connect Card, and our welcome team will be ready for you!

Our Connect Card is a simple online form available on our website under the 'Connect' tab. You'll just need to provide your name, email, and the date you plan to visit.

Your First Visit
When You Arrive
Our friendly greeters will be at the doors to say hello and help you find your way around. If you have children, they'll direct you to our secure check-in area.
For Your Kids
We value your children's safety. All our volunteers undergo background checks and training. Our check-in system ensures only authorized adults can pick up your child. Children stay with you during the worship time and are dismissed to their programs just before the message begins.
After the Service
The service usually ends around 11:45am. Our team members are available to talk, answer questions, or pray with you. We also have a Connection Center where first-time guests can receive a special gift and learn more about our church.
