No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome to worship with us in person or online. Worship is at the heart of our life together as a community. We gather to connect with God and to connect. Your presence is what matters to us. This is one hour a week when you will be welcomed for who you are, not for what you do.
HYBRID WORSHIP SERVICES
Our service is a hybrid between in-person and livestream worship at 10:00 a.m.
Children are a priority in our faith community and are always welcome in worship. Our Children’s Minister gives a special children’s message during our regular service and then they are invited to Sunday School next door in Fellowship Hall (children are welcome to remain with their families).
Classes are arranged by grade level. Each class, while learning about the same concepts, explores them in age-appropriate ways with our dedicated adult and teen volunteers. Our “formal” Sunday School year runs from the Sunday after Labor Day in September to June. During the summer months, we provide fun Summer theme-related activities in a more relaxed format in Fellowship Hall for children. Our middle and high schoolers have their own meeting during Sunday School and fun activities.
We have a separate youth group meeting immediately after church once a month.
Child Care is always available for infants and children through age two during our worship services. Our nursery program is a paid staff position with a provider who is experienced in Early Childhood Education and has met requirements for background checking, first aid, and CPR certification. We provide Child Care between 9:15 am - 11:15 am so that any families that would like to participate in choir, coffee hour, or early meetings can have care for their children.
