What to Expect

What are services like?
relaxed but reverent. traditional liturgy often done to contemporary tunes & instrumentation. "Blended" worship in terms of music styles. An fun & exciting multigenerational family hour occurs monthly during the school year on Sunday evenings, just prior to the evening worship service. It includes a meal, Christian education for kids from toddlers to teens & great fellowship.

What is the community like?
Primarily middle age & up, mostly white, but with joyful anticipation of diversity which reflects the neighborhood in which we are situated. We love children, enjoy service projects that impact locally as well as globally. We are always eager to learn more & more about what God says to us in his Word, both in worship & in Bible study.

What if I'm not a Christian?
All are welcome in this place! Participate at whatever level you feel comfortable; feel free to ask questions; we won't "push" Jesus on you -- we'd simply like to introduce Jesus to you & facilitate a relationship between the two of you in whatever way you see fit.
