Entering the driveway of PWC will take you around to the main parking lot. The front door is clearly marked and has a large overhang. Hospitality volunteers will greet you at the door. They will be wearing neon lanyards. If you need anything throughout your visit, look for the lanyards.

Once you are in the building, the restrooms are located down the hall on your right, before the worship center. That hallway also includes access to our mother’s room and the wiggle room. The welcome desk is located next to the worship center doors to your right. Stop in for a first time gift and to answer any questions.

PWKids check-in is located inside the front doors to your left. Stop in to check your kids in and then head down to our café to grab local coffee and homemade treats. Worship will either be in the Worship Center(9:30) or the Traditional Sanctuary(11:00).

At the contemporary worship service, there is a section for students to sit together. If this is your first week and your student would rather sit with their family, feel free to stop by the student section and grab a snack, fidget, or something to draw on.

During worship, you can participate as you feel comfortable. Some people sing, others meditate on the lyrics, some pray with their hands raised, and others bow their heads and close their eyes. Feel free to go to the gathering space at any time during worship.

After worship, you can connect in the gathering space with friends or staff members. Our connect desk, by the café, always has fantastic resources for you to take a next step.

Children are invited to participate in all aspects of Platte Woods Church. PWKids has a check-in station in the gathering space that can be your first stop for Sunday Worship. 9:30 and 11:00 am worship services have childcare available for children, birth through pre-K. We also have fantastic experiences for all elementary-age students. Want to know more? Click here to check out our PWKids page.

Students are invited to participate in all aspects of Platte Woods Church. During the 9:30 worship, students can worship together in the student section. Make sure to check out our Youth page to see all the other opportunities for students!

Worship at PWC typically lasts around an hour. We have rhythms of worship that include music, prayer, preaching, baptisms, communion, and other experiences to practice our faith together in community.

Children and students are wholeheartedly welcome in worship (See below for more information about children and students). Invitations to sit and stand as a congregation are always as you are able.

Platte Woods Church centers belonging above conforming. During worship, you may see people in casual clothing and suits shaking hands to greet one another. You may also see a child in a princess dress playing in the wiggle room with another in their pajamas. Our experiences are focused on our ability to worship God and connect with others.

The traditional service typically has a more formal feeling that the contemporary.

During football season, we wear red :)

Music styles vary within each service, with our contemporary service led by a rotating team of volunteer musicians and our traditional service led by a choir and select instruments.

Earplugs and children’s headphones are available at both entrances to the worship center and at the sound booth.

Hearing assistance is available upon request. Ask a hospitality team member with a neon lanyard, and they will take care of you.

Our Worship Center has been set up with three alternative worship areas: The Student Section, Sensory Area, and Wiggle Room. The student section is reserved seating for students. The Sensory Area is designated for families to have a little more room to spread out. The Wiggle Room is a space for families with children to worship through play.

Our traditional sanctuary has a wiggle room located in the back that is equipped with audio and large windows to participate in worship. Children are free to play and wiggle to feel comfortable in this space.

Our gathering space features alternative seating areas equipped with screens and sound, allowing all participants to engage in ways that make them feel worshipful.

We want to reiterate that all people (including all abilities and ages) are encouraged to participate in worship through the means that best allow them to encounter God. Your family, your children, and you are invited into this radically inclusive community.

Maybe worship isn’t the first step you are looking for. Platte Woods Church is always in motion, going to serve our city and our world. Serving others is a fantastic way to connect with God and a church. Click here to see all the ways that you can go serve and meet others who want to do the same.

We have a nursing mothers’ room located in the front hallway. This room is equipped with audio and video for worship as well as comfy seating, a changing station, and a sink. For any other accommodations, see a hospitality volunteer with a neon lanyard.

Maybe worship isn’t the first step you are looking for. Platte Woods Church is dedicated to making a tangible impact in our community. Community organizing is woven into the DNA of a church that is living out the life of Christ in their context. Our Justice Ministry Team (JMT) is always open for people to find a community and work together for the Kingdom of God.
