Where do I park?
You can park wherever you’d like.
But please note the following:
☑️ Handicap accessible spaces are available right up front.
☑️ If it’s your first time, turn on your hazard lights when entering the parking lot so we can treat you as our VIP.
☑️ A parking attendant will help guide you to a parking spot if your hazards are on.
Our regulars, who are able, will be parking in the South lot and utilizing the South LifeKids entrance so you can have a little easier access!
What should I wear?
As with all of our services, we’re more concerned about what God wants to do in your life than what you’re wearing on your body. So, come exactly as you are - don’t dress up or down for anyone.
Can I watch services online if I can’t attend in person?
Absolutely! If for any reason you can’t make our in-person service, you can always watch it live on our FaceBook page or right here on our website, just click the button below.

Want to help our 2024 Christmas Family?
This year’s Christmas family is a family of 5 with 3 kids ranging in age from 2.5-7 years old. Recently and suddenly the father lost his job and the families Christmas plans were immediately changed as money they might have had for gifts and other items was redirected to bills and essentials.
Real Life’s staff jumped in, contacted the family and made arrangements to help Dad and Mom not only provide Christmas for their littles, but make sure they had groceries and gas to get through the Christmas season.
If you’d like to help us help this sweet family just click the link below!

When the Christmas lights come down...
life continues, so here’s what’s going on at Real Life after the tree and tinsel are put away for another year
No Sunday Service
Christmas is a busy time of year for everyone but when you’re a volunteer at church on top of it all, life gets pretty hectic. So every year we cancel service the Sunday after Christmas and give all our volunteers and staff a Sunday off. We’ll be back the following Sunday rested and ready!
Welcome to 2025!
We know it’s not really a part of Christmas but come January 5th we’ll kick off a new message series for a New Year! Church starts at 10am, come early for coffee and conversation before service, or to check your kids in before the music starts. We’ll see you in 2025!
January Message Series
We’ve got 4 biographies of Jesus life after He began to preach and teach but there’s very few stories about Jesus before He was baptized by John. But the 4 stories we have can have a profound impact on our lives in 2025. Come discover Jesus before the beginning of His ministry.
February Message Series
The idea of love saturates our society but does the ideology of love expressed in our culture fit reality? Is love, as we’ve known it, good for us or has it done us wrong?
No Awkward First Visits Allowed
Here’s the deal…
We know it can be a little weird or awkward visiting a church for the first time.
- It’s an unfamiliar building with unfamiliar people... 😬
- What do you do with your kids... where is the restroom... what door do you use... 🤔
- You’re unsure of what’s allowed and what’s not... like, can I take my ☕ into the auditorium?
- What if I park in the wrong spot? 🤦
- What if they ask me to stand up and introduce myself 😱 (we won’t btw 😉)
That’s why we created Plan Your Visit.
When you sign up for Plan Your Visit we’ll:
✅ help you find a parking spot
✅ meet you at the front door
✅ help you get your kids checked in
✅ introduce you around to a few people
✅ save you seats
✅ we’ll even sit with you if you want (so you don't have to sit by yourself)
We want to make your first visit as easy as possible, and actually take time to get to know you and your family.
Pretty crazy idea, right?
Will you come hang out with us this Sunday?
