Living, Loving and Giving Like Jesus

Worship

Worship in a way that best suits you!  We offer varied worship styles at different hours - Sundays at 8:30 am, 9:45 am, and 11:00 am.  We do this with the hope that you can worship with us at a time that is convenient for you and in a way that speaks to you. Check here for directions.  If you miss a Sunday, you can click on the Sermons link to hear the sermon.

 

8:30 Service

8:30 Worship
Traditional Service with Communion

 

   

 

This service is held in our chapel. It is an intimate gathering of about 35-50 people. If you prefer a simpler, less complicated service, this may be for you. Many who are accustomed to a smaller, perhaps even rural congregations, might prefer our 8:30 service.

 

 

 

 

 

 

9:45 Service

9:45 Worship (The Well)
Contemporary Worship

 

 

We call this service "The Well" - a name inspired by a story in John 4:5-30 in which a woman met Jesus by a well in the midst of her everyday chores.

We gather in our social hall for this contemporary style of worship where we have chairs, not pews, and casual attire is the norm. We are led by our praise band as we sing contemporary songs and updated renditions of familiar classics. The lyrics are projected on screens for you to follow or sing along.  Sometimes we incorporate video presentations into worship.

People of all ages attend this service. We hope you might be pleasantly surprised to meet Jesus at "The Well." 

 

 

  

11:00 Service

11:00 Worship
Traditional Liturgy Based Service

 

 

Most people call this a traditional style of worship. This gathering in our sanctuary draws on classical traditions of Christian worship. We sing from the hymnal and use a bulletin as a worship guide. 

The music style is varied, including classical, gospel, traditional hymns, and some more recent selections. The Apostles' Creed, an early statement of baptismal faith, is normally included. We celebrate commmunion on the first Sunday of each month.

If these things sound familiar to you, then this may be the service for you.
