Parking Impacts

With the construction of our new ministry facilities, we are adapting to significant parking changes due to 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 94 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.
