Join us for a worship service

Each Sunday we meet to worship God together. Our services are a blend of contemporary and traditional elements:

Call to Worship

Our Call to Worship focuses our minds on the worship of God. We usually read a verse aloud together or sing the Doxology.

Prayer

At several times during the service, the pastor or an elder will pray publicly from the pulpit.

Singing

Each service, we sing several songs of praise and worship to the Lord. We sing a mix of traditional and contemporary songs, and we try to use a style and key that works for all voices.

Communion

Once a month, we observe Communion. We pass out bread and grape juice to the gathered Christians, which we partake together.

Announcements

During the service there is a time for announcements calling our attention to upcoming events or things going on in the church.

Children’s Church

Before the sermon, kids can be dropped off at Children’s Church classes. Or, they can stay in the service, if you prefer.

Sermon

God’s word is opened and faithfully preached, to teach and build up everyone who hears. The sermon lasts for about 30–40 minutes.

Benediction

At the end of the service, the pastor or a church elder pronounces a blessing on the people in attendance, known as the Benediction.

After the service

Stick around following the service for a free cup of coffee and some conversation. We’d love to get to know you better!

  • Do you have anything during the service for children?

    Yes! Our nursery is available for children ages 0–3. Children are part of the service at the beginning, but before the sermon they can be dropped off at Children’s Church classes where they’ll learn Biblical lessons from children’s ministry volunteers. Or, if you prefer, you can keep them in the service the whole time.

  • What do you do to keep kids safe?

    Our children’s ministry follows a policy called “Safe Place” to keep kids safe while they’re in our care. Every classroom has at least two qualified adult volunteers and windows so children can be seen from the hallway at all times. Volunteers must pass a background check, and parents sign children in and out for security.


    If your child has food allergies, be sure to let us know. Volunteers will be informed and make sure to handle snacks appropriately.
