New to Upward?
You might be wondering, what's it really like at Upward Christian Fellowship? Well, our vision statement is Building His church; by transforming our communities. Everything we do is based on the idea that Jesus can transform the world one community at a time.
Want to know the best part? No matter what you've been through or what questions you might have about God and faith, our church is a place where you'll find the love, grace, and forgiveness Jesus gives to everyone.
One Church, Two Locations
Upward Christian Fellowship is one church family meeting in two locations, united by the same vision and heart for our community. Both campuses have live worship, and the message is taught live from our Flat Rock Campus and streamed in real time to our West Campus, so everyone shares the same message together.

What to Expect
We know visiting a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking. We want your first experience at Upward to be a great one, so here are answers to a few common questions.
How long is a service?
About 60 minutes. Every service at a campus is identical: contemporary worship and an engaging, relevant message full of Scripture and life application. Come to whichever service fits your schedule.
What's the culture like?
Exciting, casual, and relaxed. Come as you are and expect to be welcomed as our guest. Before you find a seat, grab a free coffee, tea, or water in the lobby.
What about my kids?
Upward Kids serves children from birth through fifth grade at every service. Our team of trained volunteers is ready to welcome your kids into an environment built just for them, where they can experience the love of Jesus Christ.
Kids Check-In is in the lobby at both campuses. Want to save time? Visit the Upward Kids page below to fill out a New Family registration form for your campus before your first visit. After that, you can pre-check in your family each week with the Church Center app.
Can I watch online first?
Absolutely. We stream on Sundays at 8:00am and 9:30am. Watch on our website, YouTube, or Facebook.
