You’re part of the Waters Edge Church family no matter where you choose to attend! Waters Edge Church Online is also a great option if you want to invite a friend to join you! Visit WEC Online to experience worship, the message, and the community of your church family through live chat and prayer. With 3 services each Sunday, you can always find a service to attend.
You can also find online community on Facebook Live and YouTube Live, and every Sunday as well.
When you arrive, follow the parking signs. We recommend arriving 20 minutes before services begin.
Whatever you're comfortable in. We welcome jeans, t-shirts, ties...you get the idea. Come as you are!
As a first time guest, we want you to feel comfortable. We aren’t going to embarrass you by asking you to stand up during the service or anything like that!
Our band will come out to lead you in some songs. You will meet your campus pastor, and then our Lead Pastor Stu Hodges will be out to share a message that will encourage you and help you grow in your relationship with God. Altogether, you will be here for about an hour.
At Waters Edge, we’re all about creating age-appropriate environments that your kids will absolutely love! We make it easy and fun for them to learn about God, so that the message sticks in a real and practical way. While you attend the service, kids will attend one of three environments. The safety of your kids is our number one priority. Our volunteers are carefully trained and have passed a comprehensive background check, and our computerized check-in system with exclusive security tags ensures the safety of your children.
We encourage you to continue teaching your kids about Jesus using Waters Edge Kids Online Resources.

Waters Edge Students

At WEC, we believe “everybody needs a group,” especially students! Our Student Groups are for students in 6th-12th grade and meet at campuses and in host homes. This is a time to connect to other students, discuss topics relevant to life, and grow closer to God. New students can connect to a group at any time during the year.
