Sunday Worship Service (9:00 & 10:45)
We are committed to building up the Church and glorifying God through worship that is meaningful, heartfelt, and relevant. While our dress is casual and our atmosphere warm and friendly, we are passionate about worship.
Music: Our worship music combines the richness of traditional lyrics with music that is contemporary and beautiful. Guitars, drums, violin, mandolin, and wind instruments are all used to raise the artistry and beauty of our praise and worship.
Communion: Communion is celebrated at each worship service. The Lord’s table is open to all those from any Christian tradition or denomination who have been baptized. We remember that access to the table is not a right conferred upon the worthy, but a privilege given to the undeserving who come in faith, repentance, and love.
Offering: As an act of worship, we bring our monetary tithes (the Biblical 10%) and offerings each Sunday morning. We give graciously and cheerfully, as the Lord has blessed us. If you are a guest of the church, you are not obligated to participate in the offering, but are welcome to join us in worshipping this way.
Messages: The center of our worship service is Biblical teaching. Each week we are amazed at how this ancient text speaks with authority and relevance in our daily lives. Through these messages, God challenges us, inspires us, and gives us course corrections and encouragement for the journey.
