Sunday Services

11:00 AM - Morning Worship Service - By God's design, man is created to worship and praise His Creator. As we gather on Sunday mornings, our goals are to worship God in reverence and joy, to encourage one another in living our Christian lives, and to grow through learning and obeying God's Word, the Bible. Our desire as we worship is to please God. Personal participation is vital to our "success" in pleasing God. Our worship services feature an exciting blend of familiar hymns and contemporary choruses that express our hearts to God. As we expect to spend eternity worshiping and praising our Lord forever, we delight to engage in worship today in anticipation of that eternal joy. God’s Word is presented in a clear and dynamic fashion and is applied to the challenges of our modern lives.

9:45 AM - Sunday School is a time for instruction. The Bible is our main textbook. It is a time for establishing Christian faith, to prepare for the task ahead. It is also a time for getting to know your Christian brothers and sisters. It is a time to search the scriptures for answers to today's problems. Come and join us as we meet God in a personal and practical way.

Small Groups

A Christian "Small Group" is an intentional face-to-face gathering of 3 to 12 people on a regular time schedule with the common purpose of discovering and growing in the possibilities of the abundant life of Christ. Small groups can be

• an opportunity for personal exploration of the content, meaning and application of the Christian Faith
• a laboratory to learn how to love
• a place to know and be known in a supportive environment
• a supportive environment for struggle, change, and decision
• an environment for discovering and developing spiritual gifts
• a setting for prayer and worship
