We look forward to having you visit Kalamazoo PRC for the first time!
Here are some basics that you might like to know:
Sunday service times
We have two services every Sunday: a morning service at 9:30 a.m. and an evening service at 5 p.m. Each service is between 1 and 1-1/2 hours long.
Parking
Our church has its own parking lot, and you are guaranteed a space. Most people arrive 5–15 minutes before the service begins.
Accessibility
Our entrance is barrier-free, and we have accessibility features in the restrooms.
What to wear
We like to wear our “Sunday best.” This can range from suits and ties to business casual for men and dresses or business casual for women.
Nursery
Children of all ages are welcome in our worship services. We do not have a formal nursery space, but if your children are unable to sit through a service, you are welcome to worship in our multi-purpose room. We have some toys for infants and toddlers, or you may bring your own. Audio from the worship service plays through a speaker.
Order of worship
Printed bulletins are available just inside the sanctuary doors on the book shelves on the right and left sides. The back page lists the order of the worship service and the words of the creed and doxologies. The inside left page contains the song numbers and Scripture passages for the day’s services.
Bibles
Our pews hold KJV Bibles and Psalters for you to use, but feel free to bring your own Bible or use an app and follow along in the version you prefer. We pray using the language of the KJV Bible — calling God “Thee” or “Thou” helps us remember that God is holy, sovereign, and worthy of our reverence.
Fellowship
After the worship service, you are welcome to stay and visit with us, or you are welcome to head home.
Media
Our worship services are live-streamed on SermonAudio, but only the sermon will be posted for later viewing.
Denomination
We are part of the Protestant Reformed Churches in America. We began in 1924 following a split from the Christian Reformed Churches. We have maintained the traditional worship style that was used from our beginning.
