SUNDAY WORSHIP
 

Come as you are. Our church family varies in how we dress.
From jeans to suits, we hope you’ll join us in a worship.

“If we clothe ourselves with humility, then no matter how we dress, 

we will honor and reflect Christ.”

                                                                                         – John Bloom

 
 
Our 8:00 a.m. Morning Blend Worship is a  gathering that takes place in the Fellowship Hall which is located in the lower level of our Church.  This worship includes hymns, scripture readings, a call to worship, prayer, a sermon, and weekly communion. This intimate and reflective service provides a meaningful time of worship in a welcoming setting.  Coffee and pastries are available to enjoy during the service.
 
Our 11:00 a.m. Blended Worship is an  worship held in our Sanctuary on the main level of our church.  Each service experience features a blend of hymns, traditional, and contemporary music. The service includes a call to worship, a children’s chat, prayer, scripture readings, and a sermon. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month.
 
After the children’s chat, kids are invited to Faith Friends for Sunday School during the remainder of the service. A Toddler Room is also available for younger children, providing a welcoming space for families.
It’s church, but not as you know it.
 
Messy Church takes place on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in our Fellowship Hall located in the lower level of our church.  Each month is a fun, themed gathering for all ages. It includes a provided meal, crafts, a message, and music that align with the theme. Everyone is welcome to join in this creative and engaging way to explore faith together!
