What to Expect

What are services like?
At each service you will have the opportunity to hear the Word of God preached, sing songs of praise and thanksgiving, pray both privately and collectively, and receive the true Body and Blood of our Lord in His Holy Supper each week.

What is the community like?
Exciting, inviting, and relaxed. Come as you are, dressed however you feel most comfortable, and expect to feel welcomed as our guest. We are truly thankful that God has brought you to us. Your children are important to us and are welcome at our services, In fact, we want all children to worship with their parents. There is a Children's Message at the 9:30 and 11:00 services. Activity bags are offered for all children. If the kiddos get a little fussy we have a lovely patio with a live feed of the service so you can still hear and see the worship service as you comfort your little one. We take our work very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves so seriously. We are a joyful, friendly, and loving community. There are parts of our worship that are very serious and encourage deep contemplation, while there are times that are much lighter and whimsical. We would love to have you come and experience the truth of God’s Word and His love for all.
