All are welcome to this unique and casual outdoor worship experience on the shores of West Grand Traverse Bay.

Bring your own lawn chair or blanket and dress for the weather, as we will hold worship outdoors unless there is heavy rain or thunder and lightning.

Well behaved and leashed pets are welcome to attend.

NOTE FOR THE 2023 SEASON: We will not meet at Sunset Park on June 11 or July 2.  9AM worship will be held in the Central Church sanctuary at 222 Cass Street in downtown Traverse City on these dates.

Experience a familiar pattern of liturgy with prayers, hymns and an encouraging message.

Features music from Central’s Chancel Choir and historic pipe organ weekly.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Chancel Choir takes a summer vacation, and special guest musicians and vocalists share their gifts during the worship service.

This service is livestreamed year-round on the Central Church Facebook Page.

Bring your pets to Church in the Park!  Pastors Linda and Joan will offer a special blessing for all pets during the worship service.

NOTE:  All pets must be leashed or properly contained.  Please monitor your pet at all times and bring your own waste collection bags. Thank you.
