Worship Through Giving
As part of our Order of Worship, we receive tithes and offerings. As a guest, there is no expectation — simply worship with us.
After Service
Stay and connect! Our members love to meet new faces. Stop by to introduce yourself and learn more about our ministries and how to get involved.
Order of Worship
Our Order of Worship guides each Sunday service from Call to Worship through the Closing Hymn. Every element is intentional — designed to draw us closer to God and to one another.
You Are Welcome Here
“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
