Our Worship…
We worship every Sunday morning at 9:00 a.
m. Our worship is intentionally blended in
style which means that every week we seek to
experience the power of the Holy Spirit by
incorporating the best of both traditional and
contemporary worship styles. This means we
sing hymns accompanied by organ and piano,
have a robed choir that offers a variety of
anthem styles and are led in singing by one of
our four praise bands. Proclaiming the Word
of God is at the heart of our experience in
Worship. All that we say, sing and pray is
intended to make our hearts fertile soil for the
seeds of God’s transforming grace and truth.
While we love children in Worship, our staffed
nursery provides a safe haven for our
youngest infants and toddlers. Each week
loving care is given by three trusted caregivers
in a fun atmosphere that offers a chance for
parents to worship in the sanctuary while
having the assurance that their children are
being well cared for.
