Service Times FAQs
What are the new service times?
When do the new service times begin?
The new schedule begins on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
Are service times at Alliance Church Neenah changing?
No, Alliance Church Neenah service times will remain at 9a.m. and 10:30a.m.
Will Discovery Land be available during all three services?
Yes. Discovery Land will be available during all three Sunday morning services.
Why are we adding a third service?
We're adding a third service to create more opportunities for people to discover Alliance Church, connect in community, and serve. Additional service times also help us continue making room for the people God is bringing to our church.
Is this because the church is out of space?
No. While additional capacity is a benefit, this change is primarily about creating more opportunities for people to discover Alliance Church, connect in community, and serve. More service options make it easier for guests to visit, families to find a time that fits their schedule, and volunteers to serve while still attending a worship service.
Do I have to attend a specific service?
No. You're welcome to attend whichever service works best for you and your family.
Should I consider switching service times?
If your schedule is flexible, we encourage you to consider attending a service other than 9:30 a.m. Spreading attendance across all three services helps create room for guests and first-time visitors while providing a great experience for everyone.
What will the reduced time between services mean in Appleton?
We're taking intentional steps to ensure the shorter transition between services doesn't diminish the Sunday experience. We'll be monitoring parking flow, especially around the 9:30 a.m. service, and working to create space for people to connect and fellowship without feeling rushed.
Will weekday ministries be impacted?
No. This change only impacts Sunday morning worship service times.
Will the online service schedule change?
Yes, our live online service will be at 8 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m.
How can I help make this transition successful?
- Begin planning now for the new service times.
- Invite someone to join you.
- Be flexible if another service time works well for your family.
- Continue serving—or consider joining a serving team if you're not already serving.
Will my serving schedule change?
Some serving schedules may be adjusted as ministries transition to three services. Your ministry leader will communicate any changes well in advance.
When will Spiritual Boot Camp meet?
SBC details will be communicated by the Student Ministries team when they are solidified.
Who can I contact if I have questions?
If you have additional questions, please contact the church office or reach out to your ministry leader. We'd be happy to help.
