WHAT TO EXPECT
On a Sunday morning you can expect to be welcomed warmly by our staff and volunteers. We engage in dynamic worship to honor Jesus, read scripture and enjoy beautiful music. After worship, join us for a simple meal together. We believe that God will move mightily in your life through our worship and fellowship together!
MY KIDS
As a family centered Church, we gather for worship as one body, welcoming children in our midst just as Jesus did. Children are invited to sit in our unique "Prayground" in the worship space, where Christian education materials related to the morning message, soft toys, and simple crafts are provided. Children may also remain with their family members during worship, or family members may join their children in the "Prayground" area.
