Please note: ALLOW YOURSELF A FEW EXTRA MINUTES TO FIND PARKING. There are no reserved street spaces or parking lot spaces for church visitors. Find parking on the surrounding residential streets or in front of the Community Hall on Highland Avenue.

HANDICAPPED ACCESSIBILITY
The main courtyard entrance to the church sanctuary has been renovated to include a wheelchair ramp. There is one handicapped parking space on Highland Avenue at the end of the sidewalk near the church signboard (across the street from the Citibank & Mulberry's Market).

Also note that anyone who has trouble walking may be dropped off and picked up at the bottom of the driveway in the church parking lot off of Craig Ave. To reach this entrance from the light at Oakland Ave., turn right onto Highland Ave., then take an immediate left onto Craig Ave. After one half block turn right down the unmarked driveway just past the yellow children playing sign. The sidewalk will be on your left; the sanctuary's side entrance is then accessible down the path that turns sharply to the left and then to the right past the doorkeeper's cottage, or one may reach the front entrance by following the sidewalk straight ahead to the breezeway on your left which leads to the church courtyard. We regret that non-staff member cars may not be left in the staff lot.
