Our Services

What are services like?
A traditional United Methodist worship service includes "call and response" readings, hymns from our United Methodist Hymnal, prayers read out loud by the entire congregation, a sermon from one of our ministers, organ music and anthems. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month and is open to all who wish to share in God’s grace. Coffee Fellowship - a time of fellowship and refreshments - is offered after the service in the social hall and/or courtyard and is a great time to meet people.

What is the community like?
You’ll find singles, seniors, families with young children, youth, newly-weds, young adults…. and a full range of programs and opportunities for worship, study, service and fellowship.
