Worship

Where do I go? Our church building is located at 235 Main Street in downtown Farmington, near the intersection of Academy and Main Streets.  Visitors may park on the street, in the large lot to the left of the church, or in the small rear lot to the right of the church.  On Sunday mornings, the large doors facing Main Street are open, as are the side entrances (the “Vestry” door on the left, and the “Newman Wing” door in the rear, right side). What should I wear? We're a pretty casual congregation. You’ll see everything from coat and tie to t-shirts and jeans. Most people find themselves somewhere in the middle. Please wear whatever makes you comfortable. What is the service like? Here are words our members have used to describe worship at Old South: "vibrant," "life-giving," "deep and intimate," "Spirit-filled." Our service includes a mix of traditional and contemporary elements. In all, a service typically lasts from 60 to 75 minutes. What do I have to believe (or pretend to believe)? We are non-creedal, which means that we believe in testimonies of faith, not tests of faith.  At Old South you will find a diversity of beliefs, and have the opportunity to explore your beliefs more deeply. We take the Bible seriously but not literally. We are a Christ-centered church, and in the spirit of Jesus, we welcome everyone into fellowship.  Is the church handicap accessible?  Handicap parking is located in the parking lot in the rear of the church. Turn down the drive located between 227 Main Street (large white house) and 235 Main Street (Old South Church). There is a lift (elevator) to the main floor at this entrance. An accessible bathroom is located in the main (upper) level Newman Wing. What if I still have questions? Do you want to be in conversation with a real person before your first visit? E-mail our minister with any and all questions.
