Worship on the Lawn is back! Mark your calendar for our next outdoor worship service on October 8! Make plans to grab your lawn chair or blanket and join together for one big outdoor worship service.

On this Sunday, there will be only one in-person service at 10am. The nursery for babies aged 0-24 months will be available inside the building, while kids aged 2 years and above will join their parents on the lawn.

Worship on the Lawn FAQs

When & where?
Worship on the Lawn will begin at 10a on Sunday, October 8 on the south side of our campus at 14501 Hazel Dell Parkway in Carmel.

What time should I arrive?
While service begins at 10a, we encourage you to arrive around 9:30. This allows you time to set up your lawn chairs or blanket on the south lawn and to get settled in before service starts!

Where should I park?

1. Park in the main lot if you're able, and then walk through doors 1, 2, or 3 to access the south lawn.
2. If you have a disability or are a senior, we will have plenty of parking on the west side of the building. Notify the parking lot attendant as you enter that you'd like to be placed in the west lot.
3. If you plan on attending the service in your vehicle (limited space), notify the parking attendant, and you'll be directed to the gravel (mobile) lot. You'll be able to listen to the service via your FM radio.

Where will I sit?
You'll need to bring your lawn chairs or a blanket to sit on. It's a big lawn, so there's lots of room to spread out.

What about the Venture App?
Download the Venture app for access to song lyrics and food truck menus. Text “Venture App” to 77977 for a direct download link or click to download from the Apple App Store or Google Play.

What should I wear?
It's outside, in the fall. Please, wear what's comfortable!

What about my kids?
The nursery for babies aged 0-24 months will be available inside the building, while kids aged 2 years and above will join their parents on the lawn.

What About the Weather?
The forecast looks clear, but in case of rain, we'll move inside.

For those newer to Venture... maybe you've joined us for worship a few times but are wondering, "Now what?" We're glad you asked! You're invited to our Meet & Greet on the second Sunday of the month in the Children's Wing! We'll meet after this month's Worship on the Lawn at the Welcome Center tent. This will be a very casual way for you to meet some Venture staff, families, and elders. We'd love for you to bring your kiddos.

Clear the cobwebs and your calendars for Trunk or Treat on October 29th from 4:30-6p! This year the fun is expanded with an even longer path for trunk-or-treating through our highly decorated trunks. Besides the candy, there are other sweet things your family will enjoy, like our NEW maze! Wind your way through our "merry not scary" maze while being on the lookout for a few silly Halloween tricksters. Relax with the other monsters and princesses around our cozy campfires while enjoying trail mix, and don't forget to take a picture with our Original 1951 Ford F3 flatbed truck. We encourage the whole family to wear your best costumes, bring a bucket for your candy, and invite your friends! 

Want to host a trunk or volunteer in other ways? 

Sign up here!

After serving at Trunk or Treat on October 29, we'll have a Venture Students Halloween Party in the Student Center! From 6-8p, students and their friends are welcome to come play games, enter our costume contest, and of course, eat lots of yummy food!
