What to Expect

What are services like?
Both the 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services are welcoming to visitors and newcomers. We are a congregation of people with various understandings of our faith based on diverse religious backgrounds. We are accepting of one another even though we may not all agree on our beliefs. Our exchanging of the peace is a chance to share our joy and support of each other as we welcome all who are present. The 8:00 a.m. service is a traditional Rite I Episcopal service with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist. There is no music. At 10:00 a.m. there is a Rite II service with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist and music.

What is the community like?
The church community consists of all ages, from youth to elderly. We come from various backgrounds but the love of Christ flows from everyone in our community. We like to welcome new people into our community in a manner comfortable to them. Come try us out!

What if I'm not a Christian?
We try to be the body of Christ by welcoming everyone no matter whether or not they are a Christian. We are understanding and tolerant of those struggling with their faith because most of us have done the same at one time or another.
