What do worship gatherings look like?
Our worship gatherings are a time for the entire church family to come together, sing praises, hear uplifting messages, and connect with God and one another. Services typically include contemporary worship music, scripture readings, prayer, and a powerful sermon that speaks to real-life challenges. Whether you're new to church or have been attending for years, you'll find a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.
Kids' activities during worship
We believe in nurturing the faith of all generations. While you engage in worship, your children will have a safe and fun place to learn about God in age-appropriate ways. Our kids' ministry offers programs for children of all ages, from toddlers to pre-teens, with activities that include Bible stories, crafts, music, and games. Our dedicated volunteers ensure that your kids are cared for and engaged during the service.
