Plan your visit
Here’s what a first Sunday at Lafayette looks like, so you can walk in knowing what to expect. We are excited to meet you!
What to expect on a Sunday
When you arrive
A friendly face at the door
Someone will be near the door to help you find your way and answer any questions. You don’t need to know anyone or do anything ahead of time.
Getting there
Where to park
We have 2 entrances; a north entrance off of Debula Dr. and a south entrance off of New Ballwin Dr. Navigate to the large "back" parking lot, and enter through the 4 major glass doors. The entrance will be obvious, especially on a Sunday morning!
What to wear
Come as you are
There’s no formal dress code, and folks will be variously dressed from casual to more "dressy" any given Sunday.
How long
How long it runs
Bible classes for all ages start at 9 AM and run until about 9:45 AM. Worship begins at 10 AM and runs about 80 minutes. Come to one or both!
Your kids
Classes for every age; Nursery; Children's Worship
At 9 AM there are Bible classes for all children, students and adults.
During 10 AM worship, a nursery is staffed every Sunday for infants and toddlers 0-2 years. Almost every Sunday, a children's worship (KingsKidz) takes place for about 40 minutes for 3 years--2nd grade.
The service
What worship is like
We strive to keep each week's service simple and "devoted" to what the early church focused on: corporate singing, prayer, Communion, giving, and reading and preaching from the Bible. We'll sing a diversity of songs and hymns; various members will serve and lead in different roles up front; and our minister generally preaches through textual and thematic sermon series heavily rooted in Scripture.
"The Middle" - Midweek Gathering
Wednesdays at 7 PM
Bible study—a midweek time to study Scripture together. Our minister typically teaches the adults in the Fellowship Hall (the adult class is also offered virtually via Zoom). The children meet in the KingsKidz room; the teens meet in the Teen Center.
Let us know you’re coming
This is optional, but if you tell us when you’re planning to visit for the first time, we’ll watch for you and help you find your way!
