You'll Find Answers To Your Questions Here...

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AS A FIRST-TIME GUEST?

OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS & OPEN DOORS!

A warm welcome, excellent music, an engaging message and lots of smiles.

Located in a former movie theater complex, Edgewater is an exciting and unique place.

We won't do anything to embarrass you! You will be encouraged to fill out a card so we can properly thank you for being our guest.

WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT EDGEWATER?

Edgewater is NOT stuffy. Come as you are! Shorts are welcome - we care more about you than the way you dress.

The messages are designed to help you apply the Bible's teachings to your daily living. You may laugh, cry, ponder or all three as you discover the ways in which God wants to be involved in your life and IS already involved in your life.

CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE LAYOUT OF YOUR BUILDING?

Please pardon our dust! The building is currently undergoing repairs from damage caused by Hurricane Charley. We are also taking this opportunity to renovate additional portions of the building to provide more space for our expanding ministries and growing congregation.

When you walk through the sliding glass doors you will enter our 2,500 square foot Lobby and welcoming center. You will notice a glass door ahead on your right that leads to our current Nursery and Jr. Children's Church. These ministries will move to the new children's wing in August.

THE HUB, our student ministry game room is located upstairs. The student ministry office is also upstairs.

From the lobby you can easily move up the large hallway. The first room on your left is our Student Ministry Center. Our Contemporary Worship Services meet here on Saturday nights and Sunday mornings. These services will move to our new worship center once construction is complete.  High school RUSH HOUR meets here on Sunday nights. Middle school TRAFFIC JAM meets here on Wednesday nights.

The first room on your right will soon be our Multi-Purpose Room (Summer 2008). Basketball, volleyball, Sunday morning refreshments, banquets and children and student ministry activities will take place here.

The second room on your right will be our new Children's Ministry Center (Summer 2008). This area will include a family restroom, crib nursery, nursery and rooms for children's Sunday School and Children's Church.

The second room on your left houses our Bike Ministry and Food Pantry.

The third room on your left is our Chapel where the Traditional Worship Service is held.

The third room on your right will be a flexible space for classes and small groups. Children's Church and Sunday School currently meet in this room on Sunday mornings.

The temporary door at the end of the hall leads to what will become our new Worship Center and the new home of our contemporary worship services.

You will find this information printed on a card that can be found on the lobby brochure rack.
