Frequently Asked Questions: General

Where should I park if the parking lot is full?

We often have a few spaces scattered throughout the lot, even if you don't make it here a little early. Additional parking is available just a short walk away at the Oldham County Library or the Pollard Realty building up the street.

When are Sunday services?

Our Sunday services take place at 9:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 4:00 p.m., and 5:45 p.m. every week. We also have Bible study opportunities for both men and women. Women’s and men’s studies meet every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. Women’s groups also meet on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.

What can I expect from a church service?

You can expect to find a group of people navigating though life in pursuit of Jesus. We’re not a perfect church, but our aim is to welcome you warmly with the love of Christ. You can expect a casual atmosphere with relevant music and a message from one of our pastors that will speak to where you are and lead you in an encounter with God.

Where can I bring my kids?

We strive to have a relevant worship service for your children where they will be cared for and taught about Jesus in a way that is understandable to their age. Children’s programming is available during our Sunday services. We also have children’s programming available during our women’s and men’s group times each week, but we ask that you register your child on the website for Bible study times so we can have enough staff ready. You can be confident that your children will always experience a safe, caring, growing experience that they will enjoy!

How can I learn more about the church or get connected?

We would love to meet you! Every Sunday, you can stop by Guest Central in the Atrium and volunteers will be happy to answer your questions. Once a month, we also host Starting Point, where you can join other new folks for a tour of the building, an introduction to Southeast from our staff members, and the opportunity to have your questions answered. Finally, you can fill out a Connection Card in our weekend bulletin. Hand that card in at the Connection Center in the Atrium, and we will get back to you soon!

Do you have programs for my middle school or high school student?

Absolutely! Middle school students meet on Sundays at 11:15 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. for worship and group time. Middle School Ministry (MSM) meets in The Station at the end of the hallway on the right. High school students meet at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights. They meet for worship followed by group time, and many stay later or begin early for games and fun events with friends.

La Grange Children

LA GRANGE CAMPUS

We partner with moms and dads to help kids Know God and His love for them, Grow in faith and love Christ, and Show God’s love to others. Our weekly children’s programs meet kids right where they are and help them to discover God and His Word on their own level. We believe our kids aren’t just the church of tomorrow—they’re the church of today!

Children love SE!Kids because our programs are fun and our volunteers take time to know every child’s name and story. Parents love SE!Kids because the programs are educational, engaging, and absolutely safe.

Frequently Asked Questions: SE!Kids

What can I expect on my first visit?

Please plan to arrive about 20-30 minutes before service so we can help you and your child(ren) get registered. Make your way to any of the check-in kiosks. You’ll be asked to complete a New Family Form, and then you’ll receive a security tag for your child(ren) and be escorted to the age-appropriate area your child will attend.

How early can I check in my child?

Check-in begins 20 minutes prior to each service time. Check-in will close 30 minutes after service begins.

Can my kids stay together or with the friend that brought us?

Children will be check into age/grade-appropriate small groups. We have separate rooms for our nursery and preschool children. Our elementary-age students are all in the same large room, but will be divided into grade groups (K-5th grade) during the service.

Can I go into the class with them?

We encourage parents to drop their children off and attend adult service. We will notify you if you are needed by using your security code, which will appear on the side screens of the Worship Center.

What if I lose my security tag?

If you lose your security tag, please be prepared to provide a photo ID that will match the information on your New Family Form, which you fill out when you arrive.

La Grange Students

Our Student Ministries exist to awaken a generation to the glory of God.

That means working hand-in-hand with the Holy Spirit to show who God is to every middle school, high school, and college-age student in our community.

We pray our ministry serves as a catalyst for change in every student’s life. Our goal isn’t accomplished until each of our students leaves the building on mission to awaken his or her own generation to Christ.

Frequently Asked Questions: Students

What will I experience during MSM (Middle School Ministry) or HSM (High School Ministry) services?

From the moment students walk through the door, our hope is that they know they belong here. Before services start, students can grab a snack and catch up with friends. Once the service begins, we’ll welcome everyone, worship and take communion together, and someone will share a message designed intentionally for middle or high school students. Following the message, students will get connected into small groups of the same grade/gender to have further discussion and build community.

What do I need to wear?

There is no need to dress up at all! Come as you are.

Where does the MSM or HSM service take place?

MSM and HSM both take place in The Station. The Station is the room located at the end of the hallway. You will see large letters that say THE STATION above the doors.

When does MSM meet?

Middle School Ministry has two consistent gatherings: a monthly Worship Night and weekly small groups that meet in homes. The Worship Night is on the first Wednesday of each month from 7:00-8:15 p.m. at the La Grange Campus. Groups meet in grade- and gender-specific homes on Sunday nights. Once a student is registered for a group, specific home information is emailed to the parent.

When does HSM meet?

High School Ministry has two consistent gatherings: a monthly Worship Night and weekly small groups that meet in homes. The Worship Night is on the first Wednesday of each month from 7:00-8:15 p.m. at the La Grange Campus. Groups meet in grade- and gender-specific homes on Sunday nights. Once a student is registered for a group, specific home information is emailed to the parent.

How can I get more information or speak to a staff member?

We’d love to get you or your student connected and to get you the information you need! Feel free to email us at lagrangestudents@secc.org or call 502.614.1218 for more info or to speak with a staff member on the La Grange Student Ministry team.
