One Church, Two Ways to Worship
What style of worship do you have?
We have two options. The early service is a contemporary expression of Christian worship and starts at 8:45am in the Fellowship Hall. This worship is supported by our Praise Team, a multi-generational group that leads in contemporary Christian music. You also experience the use of multi-media presentations as film and current event clips are used to enhance the worship experience.
The late service meets at 11:00am in the Sanctuary following an hour of Sunday School. Supporting this worship is our Chancel Choir singing an eclectic selection of music from the master composers of the past and the choral innovators of today. Congregational singing is accompanied by a pipe organ and piano as we sing hymns that reflect our faith. .
What should we know about the worship services?
Our Sunday worship service has a traditional feel to it, which is a nice counterbalance to our progressive theology. We have a wonderful choir and praise band and their musical presentations are always uplifting. We pray together, sing contemporary music in our 8:45am service and hymns in our 11am service, have about 15-20 minute sermons, and collect an offering that supports the ministries and missions of the church. You won’t find us reciting creeds, but we do occasionally recite prayers and litanies together. Once a month, we offer communion to all those who would like to partake (any age, regardless of his or her baptismal status). The entire service lasts approximately one hour, though we hope the effects of your time with us will last much, much longer.
What do I do with my children?
Your child is welcome to stay in worship with you! We believe that children are the church of the present and we welcome them into worship- wiggles and giggles and all. They are not a distraction but rather a beautiful and important part of our church. We have a worship cart that has quiet activities your child can use during worship. For infants and toddlers, there is a soft play area set up in the back of our Fellowship Hall for our contemporary service. We understand that younger children may have a hard time sitting through worship, and so we also have a nursery available for PreK children and younger that is staffed with our paid nursery workers.
