Services
Worship Services
Our weekly worship services blend traditional liturgy with contemporary elements, featuring open Communion for all believers. Services include scripture readings, music led by our worship team, children's moments, and pastoral messages focused on applying biblical teachings to modern life. The 10am Sunday gathering emphasizes community participation through prayers of the people and opportunities for new members to join.
Youth Programs
Chi Rho (grades 6-8) and Christian Youth Fellowship (grades 9-12) provide age-appropriate spiritual development through regional camping ministries and youth leadership opportunities. Our programs emphasize experiential learning, community service, and peer connections while supporting young people's faith journeys in a welcoming environment.
Childcare Services
Professional childcare is available during worship for infants through preschoolers. Elementary children participate in age-specific faith exploration following the children's moment. Our specialized Worship & Wonder program (for 3-year-olds to 2nd graders) uses storytelling and reflection to help young children experience God through their own life experiences in a structured yet creative setting.
Adult Education
Two weekly adult study options accommodate different schedules and learning preferences. The Disciples class offers in-depth Bible exploration while the Seekers class focuses on personal and communal spiritual growth. Classes meet at 9am and 11am, providing flexible opportunities for faith development through discussion-based learning and scriptural examination guided by experienced facilitators.
Community Outreach
Our outreach initiatives extend Christ's love through local and global service projects. The church participates in regional mission partnerships, disaster relief through Week of Compassion, and community support programs. Members engage in hands-on service opportunities that reflect our commitment to social justice and practical application of Christian values in addressing community needs.
