Sanctuary Worship
We worship in our sanctuary every Sunday at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. Join us at our 9:00 am service for a more familiar worship experience. Join us at our 10:30 am Spark service for something a little different that is more experiential and is wiggle-friendly. Both services are filled with scripture-based messages for practical living and sharing God’s love, singing together, and praying with and for one another. Altar Flowers Signup Link
Online Worship
We share the live stream of our 9:00 a.m. worship service on our YouTube channel every Sunday. The stream begins at 8:45 a.m. with announcements and pre recorded music by our talented praise team and musical groups.
Like to sleep in? You can join any time during the stream, or watch after the service is over. The video is recorded and saved to our youtube channel.
