Sunday Worship

We have two identical services at 9 AM and 11 AM on Sundays in the Main Auditorium in English. Our Spanish speaking congregation also meets at 9 AM and 11 AM in the La Viña Auditorium. Worship, pray, grow, and do life with us!

What Can I Expect When I Visit?

Visiting a new church can be daunting. We get it! So here’s a run-down of what you can expect on a typical Sunday at EV. 

Before you arrive: Wear whatever you’re comfortable in. Some of us are very casual, while others prefer formal dress. Anything is fine! Bring your Bible, or follow along on the screens or programs provided. If you’re bringing kids, plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early to register them and check out the classrooms. 

Parking: We’re located behind the Jewel Osco at 2495 Howard St, Evanston. Follow the signs from the street and you’ll find a large parking lot with free parking. First time guest? Awesome! We have special parking spots just for you, in the front parking lot. Simply drive straight up to the turn circle, locate the space and park. Lots of accessible parking spots are there, too. 

Heading In: Our Welcome Team will be ready to greet you at the front entrance and hold the doors. Follow the signs to locate Kids Check-In, Main Auditorium, La Viña Auditorium and the lobby. As you enter the lobby, you’ll find a Welcome Center with people there to answer any questions you may have. 

Services: As you enter the Main Auditorium, you’re invited to collect a program. You’ll notice that our room is set up “ in the round,” with a center stage and circular seating - please sit wherever you like. Every service begins with prayer, followed by contemporary worship, and communion. We pray the Lord’s Prayer together, greet each other, take our offering and then listen to some short announcements. The morning concludes with a sermon, typically ranging from 25-30 mins in length. At the end, a prayer team is available to pray for any physical, spiritual or emotional needs. We also leave space for ministry time. 

Afterwards: Head out the Welcome Center and pick up a gift to celebrate your first visit! Then head over to the coffee bar and grab a drink or pastry. You’ll notice that people like to hang out at the tables and couches after each service: we’re a friendly crew! From Spring through Fall, the outside patio will be set up, too. 

Have more questions? We’d love to answer them. Email: [email protected]
