What to Expect

What are services like?
Our "traditional" services occur in the Sanctuary, a beautiful space bathed in light through the stained glass. Chanted prayers and organ provide the backdrop for an encounter with God and Scripture. The services lend themselves to rest and contemplation. Our "contemporary" service occurs in the Celebration Center, a multi-purpose room with state-of-the-art sound and video capabilities. A contemporary worship band provides the congregation with upbeat, stand-up-and-clap music. The service is attended by all demographics and is particularly friendly towards families with young children.

What is the community like?
Our community is warm and welcoming without being overbearing. We have members of all generations. We feature fellowship for seniors as well as a phenomenal children's program. Our midweek meals are open to the community and stem from our focus on relationships being foundational to being church. We are very active in our community, providing both monetary support and countless volunteer hours to local organizations including Open Table, a free meal program. Many organizations also use our space for meetings, including the Boy Scouts, Mothers of PreSchoolers (MOPS) and teenMOPS.

What if I'm not a Christian?
You are welcome and you are in the right place. We won't hound you with endless visits or send a missionary to your doorstep. If you are interested in learning more about Christianity, more about Jesus or just want to be around nice people, we have many different goings on. Please join in on our events; you are welcome at the table.
