We’re Saving You A Seat
Walking into a new church shouldn’t feel like walking into the unknown. Here’s exactly what a Sunday at The Spark looks like — play by play — so you can walk in relaxed, knowing what to expect and knowing we’re glad you came.
Sunday, Step By Step
Your Morning, Play By Play
From the moment you pull in to the moment you head home — here’s how it all unfolds.
Spark Connect — 9:45 AM
Come early and connect deeper. Spark Connect is our fellowship-group time before the service — the relaxed way to meet people first, so by the time the service starts, you’re not sitting with strangers. Fellowship Groups — Come Early, Connect Deeper.

Your Kids
Bringing the kids? They’re going to love it. Spark Kids, our children’s ministry led by Pastor Keri Boyd, our Children’s Pastor, is where your kids will be taught on their level while you enjoy the service.
The Service — 11:00 AM–12:30 PM
We open with heartfelt worship, then Pastor Aaron Boyd brings the Word — relaxed, relatable, Bible-first teaching from the NKJV that meets real life where it lives. Our prayer team is available throughout — nobody leaves carrying what they came in with.
After The Service
Don’t rush off — if you’ve got questions, grab one of our hosts at the door. And when you’re ready to get plugged in beyond a Sunday, that’s what Tappin In is for.

Where Do I Go When I Get There?
