New Students
First of all, we just want you to know that we are SO glad you are checking us out and we would love to get to know you more. We know that it can be hard to get plugged in at a new place, especially when you don’t know anyone. Because of this, we do our best to make everything we do welcoming for new students. At one point or another, we were all “the new guy” so we want to make sure you feel right at home as soon as possible.
If you are new and looking for the best place to get started, we have several suggestions for you. If you are available on Wednesday nights during the school year, our Small Groups are probably the best way to jump right in and start making friends fast. This time each week is set aside specifically so our students can build relationships with a few other students their age so, if you are free, this is probably the best option to start meeting new friends fast. If you and/or your family are coming to worship on Sunday mornings, we would also highly encourage you to check out Velocity at 10:15AM. We meet upstairs in room E205 for games, worship and interactive teaching. Make sure you check it out this week!
Finally, if you aren’t really sure about us and you just want to check us out and have some fun,each month we have some kind of big fun activity and that might be just what you are looking for. It will give you a chance to meet us and they are always a lot of fun. Check out our events section for updates on the fun stuff we’ve got coming up.
We answer a few more questions on our FAQ page but if you have additional questions at any time or would just like to talk to someone, please feel free to contact Chris at 217-793-2800 #3428 or ChrisS@wschurch.org. Also, if you are interested in coming to visit us but aren’t sure where to go or how to start, we would be happy to have someone meet you at the door, show you around and introduce you to some of our students if you would find that helpful. Just contact us and we would be happy to meet up with you whenever is convenient with you.
