Wherever you are on your faith journey, we welcome you with open hearts, open minds, and open doors. Everyone is welcome here.

Worship opportunities

Worship is an essential practice for Christians. When we acknowledge who God is, our very first action should be one of adoration and praise. On Sunday mornings, we gather together in person and online to worship the one who created the world and who loves and forgives each of us. We sing songs to God and pray together as a Christian community. We celebrate worship in person each week at 8:30 AM and 11:00 AM. You can also join us on YouTube at 11:00 AM for our livestream!


Visit our Worship Page (under Get Involved) for more information!
