Worship

8:30 Traditional Service

Our traditional service reflects the best of our Christian and United Methodist heritage. The pastor and choir wear robes, hymns are sung, and the traditional liturgy is used. A children's sermon is offered.

10:00 Blended Worship

Our blended service seeks to bring together the best of the traditional and the contemporary. Hymns are used, as are other more contemporary songs. Worshippers can choose to sing from the hymnal or from the screen, and the liturgy is structured, but less formal. Sunday School for all ages also meets during this time. A children's sermon is offered.

11:30 Contemporary Service

Our contemporary service is led by a worship team (utilizing iWorship media and piano), and all of the music is contemporary. Songs are sung from the screen, and the order of service is much less formal. Worshippers can stand, sit, sing or quietly pray, all in a spirit of joyful celebration. Children leave for Children's Church (a worship service just for them) during the sermon.

Saturday Night Life
Once a month, this unique service blends contemporary music, improvisational drama, guest speakers and a very relaxed atmosphere. Usually held on the first Saturday of each month at 6:30 p.m. "SNL" will return in September.
