Guest Parking & Building Entrance
There are two main areas to park: the large area to the right about halfway down the driveway (Parking Lot B) and the smaller area straight ahead in front of the church (Parking Lot A). The smaller parking area has designated guest and handicap parking. As our guest, please feel free to park in whichever parking area you prefer - we won't do anything to call attention to you as a guest.
The main entrance to the church is located directly under the front canopy with the circular window and white columns. Everyone enters here. At the doors you will be greeted by members of our welcome team who will answer any questions you have and help you find what you need including the worship service, restrooms, and children's check-in.

Childcare & Children's Programs
As you enter the church building, our children's ministry wing is directly to your left. Stop by our children's ministry (called 'KidzMin') desk to check your children in and find out about our security process to make sure that your children are protected throughout your visit. Not only will your child be protected during their stay, they will also be taught. Our children's programs are not just childcare but are designed to be creative and fun learning experiences for your children no matter what age they are.
Enjoy a fun and casual community environment
No matter who you are or where you've been, you are welcome at Peninsula Community Chapel. We dress casual, so come as you are and experience what God has for you in a comfortable and inviting environment. We won't ask you to do anything special or call attention to you in the worship service. Everyone at PCC wears name tags (to help with the awkwardness of forgetting the name of someone you met the week before) so we'll make one for you when you arrive.

Café / Nursery
We want everyone to have an incredible worship experience and that’s why we offer the café to accommodate those with fussy or vocal children. The café has space for the kids along with a TV monitor of the service so you don’t miss what’s happening. If your child is with you in service and is becoming too active or fussy – for the courtesy of those seated around you – we kindly ask that you take advantage of this option.
For nursing moms, we offer the nursery (Room 107) which also has a video feed from the worship service, comfortable chairs, privacy and space to spread out.
