As a multicultural church committed to reconciliation, our worship reflects the vision of a “new song” in Revelation 5:9. We embrace the diverse worship experiences within our community—musically, stylistically, and theologically—creating a space of freedom and invitation. Freedom to worship authentically and an invitation to explore cultural expressions of worship beyond our own traditions. Want to share your gifts in this ministry?

Preschool-5th grade are dismissed after the 5-minute connection time. Kids, stay seated until it’s announced! We encourage kids to fully participate in worship, communion, readings, and prayer—children absorb more than we realize just by being present! Busy Bags (coloring pages, crayons, fidgets, and more) are available at the back of the worship space and coat room for kids to use during service. Parents & Caregivers—Take a deep breath! Kids are wiggly and giggly, and that’s okay! There’s no pressure to keep them perfectly still. If you need a quiet moment, a parent’s room and nursing mother’s room are available near the bathrooms. Children are a vibrant and growing part of our church family! If you don’t have young ones with you, we encourage you to smile and support the caregivers around you. Questions? Email stephanie@wellingtonheightscommunitychurch.org. family sundays Starting in July, we’re introducing Family Sunday once a month, where kids will stay in the full service to engage in worship with the whole church family. Nursery (6 months-3 years) will still be available, and Busy Bags will be packed for kids to use. The Family Sunday schedule will be shared in the monthly Children’s Ministry newsletter. This shift is about sustainability for our ministry staff and volunteers. We know it may be an adjustment for some families, and we’re here to process this change with you. Please reach out to Pastor Keeyon or Pastor Stephanie with any questions. Children’s Ministry remains a vital part of our community, and we’re committed to its growth. Our prayer is to expand financial and volunteer support to continue flourishing for the long haul! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be3aefae75f677e29c220c/38ca9eeb-a2dc-437a-ae12-6224dc58bbdc/36-2E5A0129.jpg MINISTRIES - neighborhood development God is restoring and renewing our community, and we are honored to be part of this sacred work.

That’s why we have been thrilled to launch the Flourishing Neighborhood Index (FNI). The FNI measures the health of your community across economic, social, and structural indicators. The index is designed to assess your neighborhood holistically, giving you the key information to make strategic, place-based plans alongside your neighbors. Because neighborhood buy-in is essential, community members themselves conduct the FNI. Neighbors collect FROM the neighborhood and FOR the neighborhood. The Flourishing Neighborhood Index is an 18-month process that launched in January 2024. Interested in being involved? Email office@wellingtonheightscommunitychurch by clicking the link below. History The need for accessible laundry support has been recognized since the earliest days of Wellington Heights Community Church. Early efforts included providing financial assistance and transportation to local laundromats. Over time, conversations with neighbors and the staff team highlighted a shared hope to one day offer free laundry services directly at the church. In the aftermath of the Derecho, the church connected to bring the 8 Days of Hope Laundry Truck, providing free laundry services to the neighborhood. This effort once again highlighted the community’s voiced need for accessible, no-cost laundry services and reinforced the church's vision of sustainably offering such support. Vision Loads of Love offers free laundry services at the Wellington Heights Community Church Peace House. Loads of Love seeks to create a safe, welcoming space where neighbors can do laundry while fostering opportunities for connection. Wellington Heights Community Church provides all necessary laundry supplies, with staff and volunteers present to engage in conversation and build relationships, as desired by participants. Next Steps Offer free laundry services in the Peace House for one resident in the community each week. The church will provide all necessary equipment and supplies, and a staff member or volunteer will be present for conversation and relationship-building, if desired by the participant. Our hope is that others (like yourselves!) will eventually join this ministry so that laundry services are available 2-3 different times throughout the week. Email office@wellingtonheightscommunitychurch.org, or talk to him about it in person! The time commitment would be about 2-3 hours on a single day of the week. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60be3aefae75f677e29c220c/312bfe01-3b63-4787-ad66-6d966ab2f003/IMG_1571.jpg PROGRAMS - Wellington Heights Community Church Blessing Box A blessing box has been installed outside of the Wellington Heights Community Church building to be stocked with most requested essential needs from neighbors with the motto of taking what you need and leaving what you can.
