confirmation What We BelieveWe invite you to join us to experience first-hand our congregation’s warmth and style of worship. We have put together some information to answer the questions you might have regarding our Church. If you are wanting more information, please contact our office. Click here to view photos.

When do you worship?
Sunday service starts at 10:00a.m.

Once a month during the Summer from April through October, we gather for a Saturday evening service beginning at 5 p.m. On those weeks there is no Sunday service or Sunday School. Please check the church calendar for the dates of our Saturday services. 

What is your worship service like?
Our Worship service usually lasts about an hour. Our service includes congregational hymn singing, pipe organ and piano music, prayers, scripture readings, a children’s message, a message from the pastor, and an offering. Our worship service emphasizes deepening our relationship to God, following Jesus, and serving others. We use both printed materials and sanctuary projection to aid in our worship experience, and we have large-print bulletins and hearing assisted devices available.  While our service follows a traditional format, we are relaxed in worship and enjoy humor and spontaneity. Dress is informal—come as you are!

Once a month, usually the first Sunday of the month, we share the Sacrament of Holy Communion. You do not have to be a member of the church to share communion with us. In fact, we welcome all who wish to join us, including children.

Following worship we enjoy gathering for coffee and refreshments in Fellowship Hall—you are welcome to join us!
