Going to a new church can be a bit unnerving. We've all been there, so here is some helpful information to make your first experience at Devon Community Church more enjoyable.

When should I/we arrive?

The service starts at 10:00am sharp. We invite you to arrive 10-15 minutes early to have time to get seated. Special services may start at a different time, but it's always announced on our website.

Where do I park?

Parking is available in our parking lot on the south and west sides of the building. Additional parking is available along Erie Street on the west side of the church. Please do not park on the gravel area between our building and the apartment complex. 

What is a typical Sunday gathering like?

The Sunday worship gathering typically lasts between 75-90 mins and usually includes: Bible reading, prayer, singing, announcements, and preaching but not necessarily in that order. On the first Sunday of every month we partake in Communion, where we symbolically remember Jesus' death and ressurection. 

What is the musical worship like?

We sing biblically sound songs that glorify God, reflect on His character, and proclaim His deeds. This is orchastraded by a medium to small emseble of musician with lyrics project on two large screens. While most people stand during singing, everyone is encouraged to find a posture that enhances a meaningful experience. Want to get to know that songs we will sing on a regulalr basis, you can listen to it here: DCC Worship Playist 2024.

What is the preaching like?

A few words that describe the preaching are: biblical, apporachable, practical, challenging, encouraging, and even humorous. Check out our latest sermons here: DCC Sermons

What are the people like?

We are a multi-generational church, we have young kids, seniors and everything in between. People come from a variety of work and education backgrounds, and several retired folks too. Overall, we're a bunch of friendly, caring people.

What about my kids?

Usually kids ages 4 to 12 are released to "Kids Church" after the second song. There they will have a variety of activities like singing, crafts, stories, games, etc. Periodically, the youth (Grades 7-12) are also released to "Youth Life" during the service for a time of interactive learning with their peers.

There is a nursey room available for young children, where parents can take in the service from a quiet room.

What do I wear?

We don't have a dress code. Most of the people dress in casual attire, some a bit more dressy and others a bit more relaxed. 

How can I get connected?

First time visitors are encouraged to fill out a "Connect Card", where you can ask any question you might have. The best way to make new friends is to join a weekday Life Group and/or start serving in a ministry. Our staff would also be happy to connect with you over a cup of coffee.
