A Community of Faith, Hope, Love, and Justice

First visit?  We're glad you're here.

We encourage you to show up at least 15 minutes before Transit begins in order to engage in friendly conversation with those gathered in our café area, grab a Weekly (our version of a bulletin), fill a plate with Panera carbs and grab yourself a hot cup of fair-trade freshly brewed coffee (feel free to bring your own mug!). Our childcare and kids experience is located through the giant doorway off the lobby/café area marked “GREENHOUSE” where you’ll find helpful volunteers in matching tees with smiling faces waiting to greet your little ones. You’ll find our lobby warm and inviting, and we would love for you to visit the stations of photos and stories we have posted throughout the area so you can get to know us just a little better! When you hear the band begin to play, come in and grab a seat.

If you come dressed casually, you won't be alone, but if you prefer bowties and heels, come as you like. We view your “Sunday Best” as simply showing up with an open heart and mind - no ironing required. After visiting the café area when you arrive, you can feel free to take your plate/coffee right into the auditorium with you during Transit. Participate at your comfort level (singing, clapping or standing...no pressure on any of it). We will not be passing offering plates of any kind. We do ask those who call Watershed home to give generously to our community, and you will notice metal and wood boxes in back of auditorium and in the lobby/café area for giving envelopes (enclosed in the weekly you receive when you enter the building) and info cards. We ask that you fill out the info card enclosed in the Weekly so that we can get to know you - we promise not to stalk you, and we’ll never knock on your door or spam you, but we would love to hear how you stumbled upon our community and how we can pray for and serve you!

Transit is about an-hour-and-change long, and brimming with conversation, reflecting, teaching, discussion, song and sometimes elements of video or other media on which to ponder.  In this gathering, we desire to connect deeply with God and each other and each week we aspire to find new and creative ways to express our overwhelming awe of a deep relationship with Jesus, and to discover how that translates to life beyond the Sunday morning. Not a Jesus-follower, per se? You are not just welcomed here, you are huge reason why we exist. Come and inquire, observe, participate, listen, chat, laugh and be.

Following Transit we often hold what we call a “10-Minute-Huddle” to the left of the main stage. If something in the service resonated with you, it's an invitation to pray and share your experience, and to have someone pray with/for you if you choose. If you have questions or want to know more about our community, visit the info table in the café - we have a gift we'd like to share with you for being a part of the morning and would love the chance to give you more information and help you connect. We encourage you to take your Weekly home with you so you can read it more extensively and use the information to find out how you can connect at Watershed.

We look forward to having you as a part of our Transit experience!
