What to Expect

What are services like?
Musically, we mostly use piano and organ for traditional hymns and some contemporary worship songs. Our liturgy is traditional in form but heartfelt. We have some people in suits and ties, and others who wear jeans. The preaching is biblical and gospel-centered.

What is the community like?
We are a short distance from Grace College, a four year liberal arts Christian college. The church community is made up of a number of families in the community and are familiar with this area. We are generally considered an older church community due to our with more traditional worship and services. However, we of course, joyfully welcome and enjoy a growing number of young people and their families.

Esther Zellner

This is a very caring church with a feeling of being home among a loving family. I have really felt at home here since I started coming in July. They have traditional services with hymns and piano music. Terry White is an excellent pianist and worship leader and really helps to set the tone. Pastor Eric Sass is new to the pulpit, but vibrant and encouraging in his messages. The church is also very mindful of covid guidelines. When we can not meet - services are recorded. I am so thankful to God for this little church.
