How Do I Find The Sanctuary?


Prior to our Sunday Service, once you enter the lobby, a friendly “greeter” will welcome you.

You will be given a bulletin, and if necessary, directed to the sanctuary or other locations, such as the restroom.


When is Worship?

  • Regular worship services are Sunday mornings at 10:10 AM.
  • We offer Kids For Christ classes for youth Sunday mornings from 9:10-10 AM.
  • We offer Youth Group class for youth in 7th-12th grade from 9:10-10:00AM Sunday mornings.

What Can I Expect During Worship?

  • Our worship is intentional worship and based on God’s Holy Word, the Bible.
  • Our Sunday morning service is a blend of traditional and contemporary worship.
  • At Chestnut Grove, our entire order of worship, as well as the significant events and special announcements, is printed in the weekly bulletin.
  • We use projected presentations to enable and encourage audience participation in all areas of the service.
  • We demonstrate our commitment by the giving of tithes and offerings.
  • Please note that hearing assistance units are available during worship; see the sound system attendant if you would like to use one.

Is There Something for Children? 

  • Children’s Church is available for children ages three (potty trained) and up.
  • The children are learning age-appropriate Bible lessons and songs and having a great time together!

What Should I Wear?

  • Wear whatever is comfortable for you, whether it’s jeans and a t-shirt, or a dress, or shirt and tie.

What About Communion?

  • Holy Communion (also called The Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist) is one of two sacraments observed by the Church (the other is the Sacrament of Baptism).
  • communionThe Lord’s Supper is a holy meal of bread and juice and is the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ.
  • Communion is an important part of worship at Chestnut Grove, usually observed the last Sunday each month.
  • We practice “open Communion,” and invite all who love Christ, repent of their sin, and seek to live in peace with one another to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion.
  • For more about the sacraments and What We Believe, click the photo above.

What Opportunities are There for Fellowship? 

  • We  have many opportunities for fellowship in our small groups.
  • The vision is that every member within the life of the church would be connected to a small group and that these small group opportunities would promote discipleship, joyfulness, creativity, service, and inclusivity.
  • Occasionally after worship, there is a covered-dish style lunch in the fellowship hall.
  • Place settings and beverages are provided.
  • Check our calendar for the next scheduled fellowship meal.

Why Is Chestnut Grove a Safe Sanctuary?

  • We strive to protect our children, youth, young adults, vulnerable adults and those who work with them.
  • This includes requiring up-to-date state-mandated clearances and yearly training for all who work with them.
  • See Tammy Strayer or contact the office and leave a message for her for more details.
