10 a.m. - Volunteers Check-in at 8 a.m.3 p.m. - Volunteers Check-in at 1 p.m.
While we normally ask volunteers to “serve one, attend one,” we’re making a special exception for Church at the Dome! For this event, you’ll have the opportunity to both serve and attend the same service. You’ll be released from your role shortly after the service begins.
If you are serving, you will also need a ticket to attend, so please make sure to register for both a seat and a serving role.
At Church at the Dome we'll celebrate the public declaration of faith through baptisms. If you are interested in getting baptized, you can:
Respond during the all-call moment at either service to talk with a pastor and, if you’re ready, be baptized that day.
Fill out the form below to talk with a pastor about baptism at your campus on Sunday, September 28.
Each service will run approximately 90 minutes and will include worship and a message from Pastor J.D. Our services include bright lights and loud sounds, so please plan ahead for a stimulating environment.

Yes! While you have the option to serve one and attend one, we have intentionally crafted our serving roles so that you can both serve and attend in a single service. Please note, if you choose to attend the service you’re volunteering in, you will likely miss the first 10–15 minutes of service as we finish serving those entering the building for that service.
Whichever option you choose (serve and attend or serve one/attend one), you will also need a ticket to attend, so please make sure to register for both a seat and a serving role.
No. Our Church at the Dome services will be family friendly, and all children and students are welcome to attend. There will not be separate programming. Take a look at our “Families with Children” section for more information.
