church Shopping
Many people go “church shopping” to find a faith community. We know that finding a place to fully live into your baptismal calling can be difficult. At WPLC, we place a high priority on making our worship, programs, and experiences relevant to the world and responsive to our culture. Because of this priority, sometimes a single worship service or event can seem narrowly-focused on one topic or a particular expression of our faith. Therefore, we recommend that you attend worship at least four times and join us for a couple different events to best experience the flavor of our community. Over that time you’ll meet a variety of people and get a better feel for our community so you can best discern if WPLC is the place for you.
