FAQ’s
Are there accommodations for those with Mobility challenges?
Yes! There is a lift to access the sanctuary, located on the west side of the building, just inside the gates to the courtyard. It can accommodate wheelchairs, and those with walkers or other mobility enhancing devices. Wheelchair seating is just inside the west door of the sanctuary. Please see an usher if you have questions. Seating is also available for those who have physical challenges just inside the west door of the sanctuary.
To access the downstairs fellowship hall, and the main as well as second floors, there is an elevator just to the left inside the Rodney Dr. entrance to the church.
Are there accommodations for those with Auditory challenges?
Yes! There is ASL interpretation at the 10:00 AM service, and special services, such as Christmas and Easter. The interpreter is also visible on our broadcast.
What type of people worship at Founders MCC?
Our congregation can be described in one word: diverse. You will see all of God’s human creation here on Sunday morning – folks of all ages, genders, ethnicities, orientations, identities, and those of every relationship status.
What should I wear?
We have no formal dress code! You will see a bit of everything: people in their “Sunday best,” folks in “business casual” and those in jeans and t-shirts. You’ll even find during the warmer months people wearing shorts and flip-flops! It’s completely up to you to dress to your level of comfort. Most importantly, though, we look forward to seeing you, not what you’re wearing.
