If you're researching the site trying to determine if you want to visit, it's natural you'll have questions. We've included the answers to common questions, but if you don't find what you're looking for here, please feel free contact us at 607-754-8222. If you prefer email, contact Susan Woodcook at swoodcook@unioncenter.org

What can I expect?

You can expect a lot of activity. About 1500 adults and children come to the Center on Sunday mornings to worship God and enjoy community with one another, and we'd love to have you join us.

You can pick from one of two services (9:00 a.m. or 10:45 a.m.). The services last about an hour and fifteen minutes each. During the service you'll have the opportunity to worship God through music and drama and to be encouraged through the teaching and reading of God's word.

The front doors open into a large gathering area we call Main Street. The sanctuary will be to the left, and in the middle of Main Street is a large Information Center where you can find the answers to any specific questions, such as classrooms for children and the location of the nursery.

What should I wear?

Whatever's comfortable. This really isn't a big concern to anyone here. You can dress up if you'd like, but you'll find that, overall, it's casual.

Are there classes for children?

Yes. We have a nursery and a toddler room for the little ones; for children ages kindergarten to grade 5 we have classes we call Shepherd's Town, where kids enjoy games and a lesson while you are in a service. We have a children's check-in, and all our staff and volunteers have gone through a screening process that ensures your children are in safe care.

For teens in 6th grade-12th grade we have a dynamic, high-energy group called Elevate. JV meets Sunday mornings during second service (10:45 a.m.) and Varsity meets on Sunday nights at 6 PM.
