FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are your service times and what should I expect?
We host two services, an 8:30am Modern Service & 10:45am Traditional Service with a 9:30am Faith and Fellowship (Kids, Youth and Adults) in between! Note that you can also worship by watching our live stream, or you can view past services on our YouTube page.
What is the worship service like?
We try to create a reverent and relevant worship experience. Our services meet you where you're at - whether you are brand new or have been worshipping with us for years. You can expect services of about 45 minutes and during this time, you will experience readings from the bible, a sermon, a time of prayer, and you will hear special music from music groups such as our choir, praise band, handbell choir, or guest musicians.
What should I wear?
Come as you are – we’re glad you want to join us! You’ll find that people wear a range of clothing, from suits and ties to cropped pants and sandals, even jerseys! We are happy you are here, no matter how you look or what you wear!
What is a "Reconciling Congregation"?
We welcome all people to gather as friends, grow in faith and share God’s love. As a testament to our mission of social justice, we embrace Jesus Christ’s example of an open heart and open mind by affirming and cherishing people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, physical and mental abilities, education, economic status and religious affiliations. We open our doors to everyone to participate fully in the life, fellowship, leadership, ministry, rites and sacraments of our church.
Do you provide child care during services?
We love having children join us for worship! We encourage children and their parents to worship together as they hear God's Word and sing his praise. But we know that having children in church can be a challenge and we never want that to be a hindrance to coming to worship. We do provide a staffed nursery and Kids Church during services. Additionally, we have children's activity bags on hand for those who stay in the service. Sunday School is offered at 9:30am, after the Modern Worship service and before the Traditional Worship service.
Where should I park?
Access our church parking lot from Underwood Avenue (one block west of Wauwatosa Ave) and directly across the street from the Wauwatosa Fire Station. There is also street parking on Underwood Avenue and there are also several free public lots (covered and uncovered) within walking distance of WAUMC. The closest covered public parking just south of the Fire Station under the apartments.
