Door Greeters, Welcome Center Hosts, and Ushers are here to answer questions and help you navigate through your morning with us. After each service, you may choose to visit the chapel for prayer, participate in 10 O’Clock Hour activities, or enjoy coffee and mingle in the Multipurpose Room.

It is our goal at LaGrave to reduce barriers to worship and church activities for all of our congregants. Ask a greeter, usher, or welcome desk volunteer if you need to find something on a Sunday morning.

We have:

• accessible parking spaces; a zero-entry outdoor entrance; and power door entry to the building and bathroom
• elevator access to all floors
• T-coil loop systems work with hearing aids for good sound quality during worship
• large print bulletins and hymnals
• accessible seating spaces on the main floor of the sanctuary where the pews have been cut away to accommodate a wheelchair or walker
• pew cushions and wiggle seats for adults and children who find sitting on wooden pews difficult

We don’t have a dress code—come as you are. Whether you feel most comfortable in jeans or your Sunday best, you’re always welcome.

Children 4 years old through 2nd grade join their families during worship for the first part of the service. They’re invited forward for a children’s message, and after that go to upstairs classrooms for Children’s Worship. Children also participate in leading worship through choral and instrumental music, and occasional litanies.

Children’s ministry is available and check-in attendants can help you find the way with your little ones.

Yes, we have an Infant Nursery for 0-1 year olds and a 2s and 3s class for older kids. Our computer check in/check out process ensures that all children are released only to the adult who checked them in.

We have a large parking lot on LaGrave Avenue, directly across from the front door. Another lot on the West side of our building (the corner of Cherry and Sheldon) has a covered drop-off area and accessible parking for people with handicap placards. Additional street parking is also available.

LaGrave is a church “in the city, under the cross.” You may encounter some of our unhoused neighbors as you come for worship. We have parking lot attendants and security staff who are aware of what is happening in the neighborhood as we seek to interact with our neighbors with humanity and love.
