Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

WHERE SHOULD I PARK?

The parking lot next to our main gathering space is a shared lot and is limited in parking spots. If you have base access, we ask that you park at the USO on Kadena AB (a few minute walk from the church).

There is also a free public parking lot that opens at 1000 across from the Okinawa Municipal Library (4-chōme-14 Chūō, Okinawa, 904-0004) (a several minute walk from the church).

As for parking on Gate 2 street, parking for more than one hour and/or without paying the parking meter can possibly result in a citation.

WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE THERE FOR MY KIDS?

Child care is provided for infants through early elementary in our Kid’s Ministry Building. We offer a care room for infants, another care room for toddlers, a preschool class, and a class for pre-k through early elementary. Your children are also welcome to remain with you in the service. We also have a nursing room for nursing family members where the service is broadcast into so you won’t miss anything. Check out our CHILDREN’S MINISTRY page for more info.

WHAT TIME ARE SERVICES AND WHEN SHOULD I ARRIVE?

Our Services start at 0900 and 1100 and last approximately 90 minutes long. If you have children to check into our children’s ministry you may want to arrive a bit earlier to get everyone checked in and settled before the start of service. You can check out our SUNDAY page for what to expect.
