Our Services

What to Expect

What are services like?
Service starts at 10 with announcements (we're an active church) and opening hymne. Following time with children, the young ones head on to Sunday School, except on Communion Sunday (first Sunday of the month for us) when the older children are invited to stay for the full service. Following the sermon and communion and a hymne or two more, we wrap up with a postlude organ piece. If you're new to our church, don't stand up to leave when you think you should - there's one more organ piece! Following the postlude, most people stick around for lots of visiting and after-worship treat. Please stay awhile and get to know us, we'd love to get to know you.

What is the community like?
We are an open, diverse and welcoming congregation. We have one church service each Sunday, so everyone has a chance to meet new people and visit with old friends. These brief videos say a lot about who we are. http://www.ucc.org/god-is-still-speaking/ads/

What if I'm not a Christian?
Stillspeaking. It's the shorter form of "God is still speaking," a campaign by the United Church of Christ to remind us that God still has a lot more to say. Since 2004, Stillspeaking has worked with thousands of UCC churches and individuals across the country to make religion relevant again and to extend an extravagant welcome to all—because no matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you're welcome here. Here at the United Church of Christ.
