Where should I park? We encourage our guests park in Lot B behind our building at 600 Forest Ave. This is the lot closest to the main entrance and playground.
We also have a number of other parking lots available:
Lot A is accessed from Forest Avenue and is directly across from the front of Tuckahoe Elementary.
Lot B is behind our building, accessed from Silverspring Drive.
Lot C is the middle lot also accessed from Forest Avenue and is directly across from Lakewood Drive.
Other lots: Our church office building lot (500 Forest Avenue) and Tuckahoe Elementary lots are also open for parking. Please do not park in the Tuckahoe Shopping Center during worship!
Where should I go once I’ve parked? Our main entrance is at the back of our building. The Sanctuary will be on your right once inside, and everything else will be to the left.
More Questions
What are your services like? Our worship services bring together music and liturgical resources from our Reformed heritage as well as contemporary worship practices. Musically, you can expect a combination of praise songs and hymns, led by instruments ranging from guitar to organ to mandolin to cello to accordion.
How will I fit in at Third? We are a multi-generational church desiring to create a hospitable place of belonging for people from all walks of life. We hope that this is a place that everyone can encounter God, build community, and take part in God's great work of renewing all things. Read more about our worship values here.
What should I wear to Sunday services? Dress comfortably! While some may be in coat-and-tie or dresses, many others will be dressed more casually.
Where do I go with my kids? It depends! We have nursery care for kids kindergarten and younger during both 8:15 and 11:00 a.m. services. Then, concurrent with our 9:30 service, we have Sunday school for all kids (through high school!). For the full list of room locations and more details, check out our Sunday Morning Family Ministry page. Also, please know that we always encourage families to bring their children into worship so they can learn about worship by participating in it. Feel free to bring coloring books or other fidgets that help them acclimate!
Do you have Sunday school classes for adults? Yes! Check out our Sunday School page for the latest offerings.
When does Communion happen? We celebrate Communion together as a congregation on the first Sunday of the month. All who acknowledge their need for the grace of Christ are welcome to participate.
