what to expect

special concerns

PARKING

If you: are in a “high-risk” group, care for someone who is, are experiencing symptoms from, have a known exposure to, or have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days, please worship from home online.
 

We recommend parking in our south lots on your first visit, but feel free to park anywhere you’d like. Our business neighbors even welcome you to park there! 

ENTRANCES

FAMILIES

The main entrance into each building is on the south side, but wherever you see people coming in and out is fair game. 

We have fun and safe learning environments for children and youth of all ages. The “FAMILIES” menu at the top of this page will lead you to all the details. 

COFFEE

DRESS

We love you AND… we love our coffee! Enjoy specialty drinks at our newly-opened Coffee House (in the Central Lobby). Drip coffee is free. You’re welcome to bring it with you into the sanctuary. 

Helena First is for everyone. Wear whatever you find comfortable (except maybe your PJs). 

COMMUNION

We typically serve Communion once a month. If you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re welcome to join us. A pastor will lead everyone in prayer and receiving of Communion. If you’re not a Jesus follower yet, feel free to observe without any pressure to conform.

PRAYER

"SOFTER SUNDAYS"

We often invite people to the front for individual prayer while the band is playing. We have Prayer Team members that will briefly pray with you, believing in faith for God to answer! Prayer is also available by submitting a request using this form
 

During our 9:00 service we offer modern worship in our main building AND, as an alternative, “Softer Sundays” in our North (Youth) building. Softer Sundays features an older style of worship many people grew up with. After live worship, the sermon is viewed on the big-screen.
