2024-2025 construction

Parking Impacts

As we embark on the construction of our new ministry facilities, we will also be adapting to significant parking changes due to new construction zones, trucks, and building materials on campus. 

  • Parking limitations are temporary; when construction is complete, full parking capacity will be restored. 
  • Carpooling is encouraged.
  • For worshipers with mobility challenges, we hope to prioritize use of the 72 remaining campus parking spaces (which include 11 handicap-access spaces) not affected by construction zones.
  • Passenger drop-off is available at the west lobby entrance, with a new temporary exit created.
  • Extra parking is available at Edward Jones, the Village Bar, and at the north-end Schnuck plaza lot.
