Worship: Every Sunday at 10:00 am. Wednesday Evenings at 7 pm during the seasons of Advent and Lent. During the rest of the year, a Bible study is offered on Wednesday evenings.

Our worship is centered on encountering and praising the Triune God.  The Bible is the foundation of our worship and the theme of each service focuses on how we can apply the wisdom of the ancient text to our 21^st century lives.  Children are invited to a special time of their own before they go to Sunday school at 10:15.  We are blessed with talented musicians who lead us in a variety of musical styles.   Holy Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of the month.  Nursery care for infants and toddlers is offered during every worship service.  Following worship all are invited to the fellowship hall for a casual time to visit over coffee and snacks
