Elevator Out of Order

The church's elevator is out of order until further notice.

If you are attending a service and cannot take the stairs to access the church's main level, a greeter will be available to guide you to the Chapel and Courtyard entrances. Please note that we unfortunately we do not have stairs-free access to the third floor for Formation or the basement for Fellowship; the Formation class will have livestream access available in the Westminster Room on the main floor.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work to repair the elevator as quickly as possible.
