Worship Services

We hold two worship services on Sunday mornings, differentiated by the style of musical worship in each service. The same sermon is preached in both services. Please feel free to attend whichever service allows you to best focus on worshiping the Lord.

Children are welcome in worship! We highly encourage you to allow your child to attend a worship service with you.

Sunday School

Sunday School takes place between worship services at 9:45 am. These small groups are where connections are made and deep discipleship begins!

Classes are available for every age. Activities for students and children take place during this time block.

If you're not sure which Sunday School class is right for you, we would be happy to help you get connected.
