Plan your visit
What is it like to attend a church service?
Our services tend to last 70 minutes. Since you may find yourself meeting a few new people and wanting to chat, plan for an hour and a half. Our teaching is Gospel-focused, biblical exposition that is culturally relevant and worthy of note-taking. We have study guides at our Welcome Center for each sermon series, and we recommend you check out https://walnutcreekchurch.org/media to get a sense for what to expect.
What should I wear?
Clothes. But seriously, wear what you’re comfortable in and you’ll fit right in. We try not to get hung up on things like this.
What type of music do you sing?
Our bands play a variety of modern worship music and updated hymns. We really try to make our time of singing together truly Christ-focused and powerful. Music has always been an important part of our church, and we think you’ll be encouraged by what our team puts together each week.
Where do I park?
We have a parking lot that is accessible from the southbound lane of SE 14th Street. There are a number of designated guest parking spots adjacent to our building. There are several signs that will direct you how to enter and exit our lot.
Is there anything for my kids?
We want to provide your child a safe, fun, Christ-centered place to learn and grow during our weekend services. Each of our services begins with a few worship songs. Bring your child with you to the beginning of the service and then after opening music, we’ll dismiss kids and give you time to take your child to Kids Class. Signage will guide you to where you’ll check-in your child. We offer classes for children 3 years old through 5th grade.
How do I check-in my child for nursery or Kids' Class?
For the safety of your child and your own peace of mind, we use a child check-in system for our nursery and Kids Classes. There will be a volunteer standing near the check-in stations to assist you if you have questions. Our check-in system will print a name tag sticker for your child and you’ll receive a unique security label that you’ll need to pick up your child after the service has concluded.
Is there childcare available for my baby?
If you have a child who is 2 years old or younger, you can check them into our nursery. Our volunteers are all well-trained regular attenders of Walnut Creek who have passed a background check. In the nursery there is a changing table and diaper bag storage. If you have any questions, simply ask to speak to a nursery supervisor.
What is the health policy for nursery/kids' classes?
