The Battle Creek Campus

View our beliefs and Statement of Faith HERE.

We start our services off with a time of worship through singing and prayer! We then will take time to share important announcements and receive tithes and offerings. A member of our pastoral team will then share a teaching from Scripture.

(We encourage our congregants to bring a Bible and something to write with to capture thoughts! This is not required, but is always helpful in remembering what you’ve heard.)

Our services typically run an hour in length.

Woodland is casual in its attire. Dress however is most comfortable to you! You will see some people in business attire and dresses, and others in jeans and t-shirts! If you like dressing up for church, go for it! If you feel your best in jeans and a t-shirt, go for it!

But of course! :)

We have free drip coffee available in our South Lobby as well as a volunteer ran Cafe (inside of our North Entrance) that serves specialty drinks 30 minutes prior to the start of service!

Our Sunday service at Battle Creek begins at 10:00AM! We always recommend allowing yourself time to park, get situated, grab a cup of coffee or latte from our Cafe, and find your sea& t! With that said, we understand that piling everyone into the car on a Sunday morning is easier said than done! :)

For those with children, be sure to allow time to check your child into their classroom. Check in opens in our West Entrance (around the back of the building) 15 minutes before service! We will be here to help walk you through the entire process.

South Entrance off of Helmer:

This Entrance is the closest walking distance to our main Worship Center! Handicap parking can be found closest to the church entrance.

If you are checking in children we recommend our North Entrance off of Helmer Rd.

North Entrance off of Helmer:

This entrance is closest to our Cafe and Zuhl Chapel.

West Entrance (Woodland Kids):

Families with kids? This is the entrance for you! If you are checking in a child ages 0-6th grade, please use the West Entrance of the building (on the back side of the church), which leads to our West Lobby (where kids’ check-in takes place).

We have kids’ programming specifically tailored to your child’s age and stage (birth-6th grade) that is available to families during our Sunday morning services.

Our Kids Entrance is on the back side of our building and marked with flags each Sunday!

For nursing moms, we have a Nursing Mom’s Room in our Kids Wing. This private space is available to you throughout our time together!

Aside from our volunteer team giving you a friendly greeting, you will not be singled out in service in front of everyone.

Whew! You can put your mind at ease.

Expectations of Visitors

If you are visiting with us, please feel no obligation to give.

For those who call Woodland home, we do follow the example of the Biblical tithe.

What is tithing?

Tithing in the Bible refers to giving 10% of one’s annual earnings, productions, or possessions.

The Bible speaks in Leviticus 27:30 saying “A tenth of the produce of the land, whether grain or fruit, is the Lord’s, and is holy.”

And Proverbs 3:9 (NIV) says, “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops.”
