Visitor Information
What should I expect when I visit?
What time should I come? We have two identical worship
services at 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM. We have a coffee and fellowship
time following the first service.
What is the style of Worship at Stuts? Our services
are blended with a stronger contemporary style and informal
atmosphere.
Where should I park? Parking is convenient to the
church with a main paved lot and a gravel overflow lot and
is not usually a problem unless there is a special event.
What should I wear? Most people dress casually. It
is not uncommon to see people wearing jeans or shorts in
the summer. People wear what they feel most comfortable in.
Where should I go when I arrive? If you enter through
the main covered entrance you will be welcomed by our greeters
at the door. A Welcome and Information Center is located
in the Front Foyer. There is someone at the Welcome Center
who can assist you with signing your child in for Sunday School. Children attend the beginning of the Worship Service and are dismissed by the music team for Sunday School through the front left of the sanctuary. The main sanctuary is located through the
foyer.
What is available for my children? We have a "cry
room" for infants located off the foyer with a window to
the sanctuary and a speaker that will enable you to attend
to your baby and still see and hear the service. We have
a staffed nursery for children ages 1-3 located next to the
church office in the Fellowship Hall during both services.
The age range for the nursery is flexible depending on the
child and parents are welcome to stay in the nursery with
their child. We have a television with audio and video feed
of the service in the Nursery. For children in pre-school
through 6th grade we have age grouped Sunday School classes
in our Fellowship Hall during the 9:30AM service. For Middle
and High School Students we have Sunday School during the
9:30AM service in "The Great Escape," which is our Youth
Building (the white building located on the NE corner of
the parking lot). Adult Sunday School classes are also offered
during the 9:30AM service in the basement of the main church
building.
What should I do during the offering, am I expected to
give? The offering is for those who are part of the
Stuts family. As a guest, we don't expect you to contribute.
Please pass the offering and let us have a chance to give
to you on Sunday.

Groups" that meet weekly in homes around the area as well
as a Men's Support Group that meets twice a week at the
church.
There are many opportunities for fellowship and for service
within Stutsmanville Chapel and throughout the community.
