What are your worship services like?
Our worship service lasts around an hour, 10:30-11:30 a.m.
The music in our worship services is a mix of modern arrangements of familiar hymns and contemporary songs led by our talented band and choir.
The service will typically include times of prayer, scripture reading, and a time of Bible-based, relevant teaching during the sermon.
You can watch recent services here to have more of an idea of what a service is like.
Do you have childcare and options for kids?
For children birth through preschool: Preschool Worship Care is offered during the worship service. You can drop your preschooler off with our caring adult leaders in Room 110 before the service.
For children Kindergarten through 5th Grade: They’re invited to Kid’s Worship during the worship service. You can drop your school-aged child in Room 207 before the service.
Your kids are always welcome to join you in the worship service, if you prefer. The first Sunday of each month, our school age kids join their families in the Sanctuary for worship. Be sure to check out the kids table at the rear of the sanctuary for activities for kids to do during the service.
