How Do I Get There?

COVID-19 Update

We are meeting in person and are closely following health safety guidelines. Masks are not required, but we ask everyone to be considerate of others’ COVID-related boundaries. We are continuing to provide the service via Zoom for those who are not able to join us in person. Please contact us if you’d like the Zoom connection information.

Meeting Location

We share space with the Church of the Good Shepherd at 121 Hillsborough Street in downtown Raleigh.

We worship in Shepherd’s Hall. The third-floor space is fully accessible via elevator, with drop-off available via the carriageway on Hillsborough St.

Parking

Parking (free on Sundays) is available along Hillsborough St or in the parking deck located at the southwest corner of the church at Morgan & McDowell (C, in the image below). Handicap parking is available in a small lot behind the church (B, below). Other options include the city lot at the corner of Hillsborough St & Salisbury St (A, below) or in the Episcopal Diocese of NC parking lot (D, below). There is also sometimes space available in the small lot to the east of the church (E, below).

Note: Please do not park in the lot on the northeast corner of Hillsborough St and McDowell St. It is used by other congregations.

Parking Deck Instructions (corner of Morgan & McDowell)

The first level of the parking deck is for permit holders only, but you can park there IF you have a handicap placard hanging from the rear-view mirror. All others should park on level 2 or 3, then walk down the stairs; there is no elevator. If the entrance gate is down, wave your hand over the ticket slot, take the ticket that dispenses, and then proceed when the gate lifts. (You will not need to pay when you exit; the ticket is simply the means of opening the gate.)

Entering the Building

RMC greeters will be stationed at the doors to welcome and guide you upon arrival! From the Hillsborough St. side, enter the door under the portico at the circle driveway or the glass doors to the right at the glass-enclosed corridor that connects the two buildings. From the Morgan St. side, come through the church’s small back parking lot and then up the steps or ramp to the glass doors at the glass-enclosed corridor. Greeters and signage will guide you to the elevator or the stairs – go up to the 3rd (top) floor. When you exit the elevator or stairs, follow the hallway around to the large fellowship hall on that floor. Restrooms are located on the 3rd floor near the elevator.
