Our blended service includes traditional hymns, worship teams, Scripture readings, soloists, special guests, and our Sanctuary Choir. Our worship service uses an organ, piano, keyboard, guitars, drums, handbells and chimes.

Pastor communicates in a way that speaks to our lives today. He focuses on how to apply Christ's teachings to our lives so we each can experience God's incredible purpose every day.  The music wraps the message in a relevant way, with songs chosen for one purpose --- to grow deeper in our understanding of, and love for, Jesus Christ.

The first Sunday of each month is Communion Sunday. We invite all who profess faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior, regardless of their church affiliation, to participate with us.

Connection cards are placed in the bulletin. Please complete them and put in the offering plate.  If you have a prayer request, please fill out the prayer request card in the back of the chair in front of you and place in the offering plate. We have a special gift bag for our first time visitors.  Please visit the information center for your gift. 

We welcome your little ones and have a nursery ready for your infant or toddler, if you choose. Should you need to attend to your child, please feel free to use the cry room.  A one way window will help you see and hear worship while taking care of your child.  The room is equipped with a changing station, microwave, rocking chair and crib.. The cry room is located in the south west corner of the sanctuary.  An usher will be happy to help you locate the room.
