Is There Parking?

Parking isn’t an issue.  We have three lots on our property by the main building.  Two are behind the building and one is on he south side of the building.   If you turn on to  Pine St. off Cedar Crest Blvd. it is easiest to then turn left onto Holy Spirit Drive, take the right fork in the road, and continue up to the main level of the building.  There you will see two available lots.  Our worship c enter/sanctuary is on the south side of the building which you will come to first.

We are inclusive of all.

We are a Reconciling In Christ congregation. and a Rejoicing Spirits congregation.  We welcome all people regardless of age, gender identity, sexual orientation or special needs, to become more faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.

Are You Handicapped Accessible?

The main level of Holy Spirit, including the Sanctuary, Fellowship Center and most meeting rooms, is completely at walk-in ground level.  No stairs.  You may want to stop in front of the main entrance before parking to drop off anyone who needs assistance.  People will be happy to help.  There is designated handicap parking on the road up, near the worship entrance, and in the parking lot.  Holy Spirit is dedicated to supporting special needs individuals, and is a Rejoicing Spirits congregation.  We offer monthly worship services designed for physically or mentally challenged individuals and their caregivers.  

Should I go up for communion?

We have an open communion table; which means that anyone who is baptized and believes that in the bread and wine we receive Christ is welcome to commune. Grape juice is used in our celebration so that all may freely receive. If you bring young children who have not yet participated in their first holy communion to the altar rail during communion, they will be blessed by the communion assistant.
