Weekly Worship | 10:55 am

Every Sunday we gather together to worship with prayer, music, and word.

Members of our diverse team and community offer dynamic and engaging preaching no matter your stage of life or faith. Music offered by our talented choirs, historic organ, and lovely congregation honors the standards of our faith while engaging the stories of today.

We worship through scripture, prayer, song, liturgy, preaching and presence. We celebrate Holy Communion monthly, and gluten-free communion is available.

We worship in our large, historic sanctuary, an inspiring worship space in which the stained glass windows surround the congregation and help to tell the story of our faith. No special dress.... just come as you are.

Children in Worship

Children are always welcome in worship!  Families with young children may choose to have their children in worship with them or to use our professional nursery care. If young children during worship need attention, parents can use the Lullaby Room, located off the back hall of the sanctuary, to watch a live feed of the worship service while consoling, feeding, or changing diapers for their children.

​We often enjoy children helping to lead worship through singing, dancing, playing bells, helping to usher, reading scripture, and in other ways. Our congregation desires that children feel welcome and a sense of belonging in our worship, that children at a young age participate fully in worshipping God, and that they have opportunities to use their gifts in dynamic and meaningful ways.
