Please take a moment to introduce yourself, so we can reach out and offer our warmest welcome.
Worship Without Worry
We are rooted in the deep Christian tradition. We are open to the new things God is doing today.
Worship is the heart of our community’s life. Singing together, praying together, and listening for God’s word in the stories of scripture on Sunday prepares us to live faithfully in the week ahead.
Our regular Sunday worship service begins at 10 a.m. each week, and features music that makes our spirits soar, sermons that connect the stories of the Bible to our lives, and prayer that allows us to lift up to God all that we cannot hold on our own.
On any given Sunday, you might hear classical music or favorite gospel tunes. You might sing a hymn written hundreds of years ago, or one written a few months ago. You will hear an ancient story from the Bible, made new for our world today. You may recite a doxology written by a former member, or one that reflects the spirit of the season.
One of the best ways to get to know our church is to subscribe to our email list for weekly updates and invitations from our life together.
