Worship is the heart of our church.
Worship includes handbells, choirs, and ensembles once again. Enjoy live preaching. We have printed bulletins available, hymnals and bibles in pew racks, in-person offering, children’s worship activity bags, and Holy Communion (on 1st & 3rd Sundays) at the front of the sanctuary as individual wafers with a glass of wine or grape juice. Nursery is available during all worship hours; no registration is necessary.
We livestream the 9:45 am service, or you can watch it online anytime during the week. Click here to read about the Sanctuary pipe organ.
