Your questions.
A few answers.
Wear what feels like you. Bring the kids. You’re welcome to listen, ask questions, and take things at your own pace.
And yes, there’s coffee and snacks—we love food! Grab something, settle in, and make yourself at home.

Our Sunday service starts at 10:30 AM and usually lasts 70–90 minutes. On the second Sunday of each month, we have a shorter service, share communion, and enjoy a full meal together afterward.
-
Wear whatever feels like you. Jeans, t-shirts, dresses, you name it. You will not find a dress code here, and you will not be the only one in sneakers. Come as you are, genuinely.

Park in the side or back lot at 1289 Mentor Avenue, then come in through the front entrance. A greeter can help you find your way and get settled.

We begin with three songs, followed by announcements and a chance to greet each other. Then we share more music, hear a message, and close with music. You’re welcome to listen and take things at your own pace. Guests are never singled out or asked to introduce themselves publicly.
-
Yes! Children join everyone for the first three songs, then head to kids’ ministry. We have a group for babies through kindergarten and a group for elementary-age children.
On the second Sunday of each month, children stay with us for a shorter service, with crafts and their own table. We share communion and enjoy a full meal together after church.

If you’ve experienced church as judgmental, consumed by politics, or closed to people who are different, we understand why you might hesitate.
At Altered, we take Jesus at his word. His love is our center, and his welcome shapes how we treat people. We’re building a community where you can bring your questions, be known for who you are, and truly belong as we follow Christ together.
