When are your services? 
We have identical services at 9:00a and 10:45a with full programming for all children in both hours.

How do I get to COTES? 
We are located on AL Hwy 104 at the intersection of US Hwy 181, roughly 2 miles northeast of Fairhope.

What should I wear? 
We dress very casually for worship.  Whatever you feel comfortable wearing will be appropriate at COTES.  The church staff typically wears jeans on Sundays.

What about my kids? 
We provide first-rate ministry programming for children ages birth – 5th grade during both Sunday worship services.  Any Connection Team member (look for the yellow shirts) will direct you to a check-in point for children.  Small group programming for middle school students is during both the 9:00 and 10:45 services.  High School Small groups meet on Sunday evenings.  Our worship service and café time (Re:Verb) for Middle and High School Students is Wednesday nights 6:00-8:00p.

What type of church is this? 
We are very free in our worship style and conservative in our theology.  We have a Southern Baptist heritage but with a very multi-denominational congregation.  We support missions through the Cooperative Program and more than a dozen other mission sending organizations.

How do I join the church? 
Simply put, come to our next monthly Accelerate Class (Sunday evenings 4:00-6:15p) and sign a membership covenant.  More specifically, three things are required to become a member:  be a baptized Christian who has attended Accelerate and signed a covenant.

How do I join a Small Group? 
Simply attend an Accelerate Class.  Afterwards you will be invited to join other members of your Accelerate class to comeback for the next four weeks and experience a temporary Accelerate Small Group.  At the end of the four weeks, you can remain with your new group or you can ask to be placed in a different group on a night that is more convenient for you.
