Why Must I Register?

All attendees, members or guests, are required to complete this registration form if they are attending our Sunday Service in person. 
Registration allows us to contact attendees in the rare or unexpected event that there is a positive COVID case at our event. This information will not be shared or used for any other purpose.

Registration will open up Friday at 12:00am every week!

 

Is there still a virtual option?

Due to poor signal out at the park, we were not able to set up a live broadcast. The service will be recorded and posted later in the afternoon.
Please subscribe to our YouTube channel. When the video is posted, you'll be notified! We hope to have up by 3pm each Sunday. 

 

Is there a radio option from the parking lot?

YES! So glad you asked! We have a local broadcast that reaches from our service area to the Lums Pond Area 1 Parking Lot! You can join us for a live radio broadcast each Sunday from the comfort of your car at the Lums Pond parking lot on channel 88.7.

NOTE: VERY LIMITED RANGE. You can only hear us if you're in the parking lot.

You can also use the pictures and written directions below: 

  1. Take the Howell School Road Entrance to Lums Pond State Park
  2. Follow signs for "Area 1" - this should take you to the very end of the road where there will be no more options to drive further. 
  3. This is also the same parking lot for the Lums Pond attraction "Go Ape" Tree tops ropes course adventure. 
  4. Head toward the restroom building and through the awning of the building toward the water
  5. See images and captions below for more details.



From the parking lot, you should be able to see this restroom building that is toward the waterfront. You should also see the "Go Ape" signs and ropes course (on the opposite direction of the restrooms) to indicate you're in the right place.


Go through the awning of the restroom building toward the waterfront.


We will be seated under the trees facing the water. Ushers will help direct you as you arrive.
