Worship

In-person worship takes place in the Sanctuary on Saturday at 5pm and Sunday at 9:15am and in the Chapel at 10:30am. The 9:15am service on Sunday is livestreamed and may also be viewed anytime later on your schedule.

Services usually last between 45 minutes and 1 hour and include singing, Bible readings, a sermon, prayers, and communion that is open to all. Each service varies in style so you can find the one that is a good fit for you.

Guests With Children

Children are welcome at all services!  At our 9:15am service, SUNDAY SCHOOL classes are available for 3-year-olds through fifth graders. Before they leave for Sunday School, kids are invited to join the pastor for a children’s message. If your little ones grow restless, there is a cry room located at the back of the sanctuary.

During the 10:30am service, children are invited to attend Kid Central. Following the children’s message, children head to Linder Hall for a lesson and return for communion.

Accessibility Assistance
Our campus offers accessible parking, walkways, and buildings. Large print bulletins are available on request from the ushers at all services. Songs and texts are shown on video screens. For persons with hearing loss, the sanctuary provides an audio induction loop system.An audio induction loop system transmits an audio signal directly into a hearing aid via a magnetic field, greatly reducing background noise, competing sounds, reverberation and other acoustic distortions that reduce clarity of sound. Headset listening devices are also available on request from the ushers.
