Visitor Information and Location of the church

The church is located on the block bounded by East Second Street, Penelope, East Third Street and East Street near downtown Belton. We hope the map below will help you find us so that you can worship with us soon.

There are two parking lots available - one on the north side and one on the south. The sanctuary entrance is on the west side. In case you have trouble with stairs, there is an elevator just inside the door with the canopy over it on the north side of the church.

	To assist our visitors in finding their way around the church, we have several directional signs placed in strategic locations.
	To help make our visitors feel welcome, we also have reserved parking spaces for them on both the north and south sides of the church.

FLOOR PLAN OF THE CHURCH

Just inside the north door leading to the elevator, there is a floorplan telling where all the Sunday school rooms, sanctuary, Fellowship Hall, etc. are located.

On the south east corner of the church property there is a lighted sign with a marquee that is used to announce our various activities.
