Visiting us for the first time?
We would love to welcome you to Dauphin Way and help you reach your destination. Look for these, and you’re in the right spot!
We hope you will join us for worship in one of our three distinct worship services on Sunday mornings at Dauphin Way! If you need directions, find the Welcome Desk in our main entrances on Catherine Street and we will be glad to help you find what you are looking for! Each service has childcare available for 4 and under in the nursery, which is located in the Education Building.
Chapel Service (Sunday Mornings at 8:20 AM): This worship service takes place in Adkins Chapel. Accompanied by organ and other musicians, we sing the great and beloved hymns of our faith. We join together in creeds, litanies, and prayers. Following the sermon, persons of all ages are invited to participate in Holy Communion each Sunday.
Contemporary Service (Sunday Mornings at 9:30 AM): This contemporary worship service takes place in Moore Hall. It follows a very similar format to our traditional services, but in a more relaxed and casual environment. This service includes upbeat music and a media-rich environment. Before the sermon, children ages K4-3rd Grade are invited to Children’s Church. They will return at the end of the service. Following the sermon, persons of all ages are invited to participate in Holy Communion each Sunday.
Sanctuary Service (Sunday Mornings at 11:00 AM): This worship service takes place in our Sanctuary. Accompanied by organ and other musicians, we sing the great and beloved hymns of our faith. Our choir offers an array of inspiring choral music, and we join together in creeds, litanies, and prayers. Before the sermon, children ages K4-3rd Grade are invited to Children’s Church. They will return at the end of the service. We receive Holy Communion on the first Sunday of every month.
At Dauphin Way, it depends on the service! In contemporary worship, members tend to dress more comfortably, such as jeans, though there are some that do dress up, whether that’s a suit or a dress! In traditional worship services, members lean more toward the dressy side. Regardless of the service, you are welcome in anything presentable!
We offer Children’s Church! During each 10:30 AM service, children will be called up to go as a group to our education building, and you can pick them up there afterwards. You can also keep them in service, if you’d prefer. If you are attending Sunday school at 9:15 AM, there is children’s Sunday school available as well, where you can drop them off, and they will stay until after Children’s Church.
We have three parking lots to choose from! We are located on Dauphin St., between Catherine St. and Lee St., and when you put in maps on your phone, it will likely direct you to the parking lot located at the rear of the church, off of Catherine St., however that lot also fills up the fastest. In that event, there are two other parking lots to utilize. One is located on Lee St., right next to the church, and the other is what is known to most as the “Pumpkin Patch,” located diagonally across Dauphin St. and Catherine St. from the church!
Just about anyone! Our members have a warm, welcome manner to them, especially on Sunday mornings! If you are hesitant, though, look for this woman! Karen Smith is our Director of Servant Ministries and Hospitality. If you’d like, you can give her a call or send her an email before you come, and she will do her best to accommodate you and will undoubtedly make you feel welcome. Her email is karen.smith@dauphinwayumc.org
