What Can I Expect On My First Visit?

As You Enter

Upon entering the sanctuary, you will be greeted and handed a program.  Most of our visitors have been able to easily follow and participate in the service. Greeters are here to assist you if you have any questions.

How formal is it?

Sunday worship service is casual and consists of a blend of traditional and modern elements.

We sing! 

The choir meets every Tuesday night for rehearsal and sings during Sunday Worship. Our congregation loves to sing the old hymns but also loves new modern and international music too. During the summer months, a “hymn sing” is incorporated into every service, during which time we sing requested hymns and choruses.

Children and dogs are welcome and expected to “make a joyful noise”.

Children and youth are invited and encouraged to attend worship and are included in worship every Sunday during “The Young People’s Message”, a segment of the service dedicated especially to them.  Upon completion of this portion of the service the children are escorted to Sunday school.

We love our dogs and they are welcome to join us in the sanctuary. Please keep your dogs on a leash and be ready to pick up after them.

Worship

Worship is held in the Sanctuary from September through Memorial Day, and in the Fellowship Hall during the summer months to maintain a “Green” footprint.

Holy Communion

The Service of Holy Communion is offered on the first Sunday of every month as part of the worship service. All are welcome to participate in the celebration of Christ’s love for us.

Fellowship

After our worship service, we move to Fellowship Hall, eat cookies, drink coffee, and continue to enjoy each other’s company.
