Commonly Asked Questions
What is a typical Gathering like?
We usually begin with a welcome and Call to Worship. We will sing a few songs, read Scripture, and pray. The sermon usually lasts around thirty minutes and is followed by a time of reflection, communion, and giving. We usually sing one more song followed by announcements and a benediction (a blessing for the road). Our Gatherings typically end around 10:45 am.
You can check out our Gathering Preview to see the Scripture and songs for this week.
Where do I park?
If you have mobility issues or children, we recommend you park our parking lot located on the south side of our building. Otherwise, you can park on either side Fairfield Ave. and the west side of Park Ave.
Where do I enter?
There are two entrances to our Gatherings. Our Main Entrance is on Park Ave. This entrance is open during the entire Gathering. Our secondary entrance is located with our parking lot. This door locks at 9:45. So if you are running late, you have to walk around the building and enter into the Main Entrance. If you have mobility issues, there is a lift just inside the parking lot door.
How do I get to the Sanctuary?
If you come in the Main Entrance located on Park Ave., you will simply take a left and you will be able to enter into the Sanctuary.
If you enter through the Parking Lot, you will need to come up the stairs, take a right, and walk down the hallway. You pass the coffee (on your left), restrooms (on your right), and NCC Kids Check-in (on your right). You will then come to the Main Entrance area, continue walking straight and the Sanctuary will be on your right.
How do I need to dress?
Most people dress pretty casually at New Circle. We strive to be a place that you can come however you want, whether it is your “Sunday best” or something pretty comfortable. Just make sure all of the important stuff is covered and we should be good!
Where are the restrooms located?
This is a very important question! Bathrooms are located on all floors at our building. The most convenient during the Gathering is just down the hallway to your left. If those are full, there are bathrooms located at the bottom of the stairs that are located just outside the sanctuary. There are directional signs throughout the building to help.
Is coffee provided?
Of course! We provide coffee roasted here in Indianapolis each week. Coffee is located in the Community Room. The Community Room is to the right of the Main Entrance or down the main hallway if you enter from the parking lot.
