Where to park.
Park in the south lot right outside the Stanley Beer Hall patio. Enter through the main south doors to find The Local Drive.
Where to go after I park.
You can enter Stanley Marketplace through the South Entrance (the entrance right by Stanley Beer Hall).
We will have some of our team standing outside by the South Entrance doors ready to direct you where to go next! You can also check out the Sunday Morning Map below to get a complete overview.
Your kids.
CityHope Kids has a FUN, engaging, and incredible program designed specifically for your kids to have a blast.
What age groups do you have CityHope Kids for?
We provide safe, age-specific environments for birth through 5th grade. We also have a nursing mom’s area inside The Local Drive.
How does check-in and security work?
All CityHope Kids leaders undergo comprehensive background checks. When you check your kid in, you get a matching name tag that you’ll use to pick them up. Only the adult with the matching tag can pick up your child. We also have a dedicated security team on site.
Where do I drop my kids off?
Birth – 2 years old: Dropped off in the VIP golf bay inside The Local Drive.
3 years old – 5th grade: Dropped off in Molino Chido. (Yes, our older kids meet in a taco shop. No, they will not be making tacos during church.) We had a professional company help us outfit the space into an excellent, high-energy environment for our kiddos. It’s pretty amazing!
What if my child needs me during service?
If your child needs you during service, we will promptly contact you using the phone number you provided during check-in.
Quick answers.
What is the time commitment?
Our services are around 65 minutes long. We have a few songs and a practical, hope-filled teaching from the Bible.
What should I wear?
Wear what you would wear on Saturday. Jeans, a hoodie, Vans (that’s probably what our lead pastor will be wearing). There’s zero dress code here. Just please wear something. 😉
Can I just sit in the back?
Yes. Nobody gets forced to stand up, raise a hand, or introduce themselves. We say all the time that we are a safe place to take risks, and sometimes just showing up is a risk. You won’t be forced to do anything here.
What if I’m not really sure about this whole God, Jesus or church thing?
We get that. We are a safe place to ask tough questions. Every week we talk about real stuff, using real language to answer real questions that apply to real life. You won’t get any churchy fluff here. If you are new to faith or exploring, we want to make it easy to engage with God. We believe God isn't afraid of our doubts and that you can belong before you believe here at CityHope.
I’m afraid lightning will strike if I were to enter a church.
If lightning was going to strike, it would have already hit us. If you think you’ve done too much, have gone too far, or are too messed up for church… welcome to CityHope. We are a group of imperfect people pursuing a perfect God, and we believe Jesus entered into our mess so that we could have hope.
What if church hurt me?
If church hurt you, we’re sorry. You don’t have to trust us yet. Sit in the back. Leave early. Come back if you want to.
Are you going to ask me for money?
There is zero obligation to give as a guest. We're just glad you're here.
Just a heads up though: we do have a giving moment each week for people who call CityHope home and are on the journey of following Jesus. We believe generosity is the best way to live, but we never want a guest to feel pressured to give.
What happens after I fill out the form?
You’ll receive one email from a real person before Sunday. If you have kids, they'll already be pre-registered so you can skip the line. You’ll also get a text from a real number so you can ask any questions beforehand or reach us directly on Sunday morning in case you get turned around. That's it.
