Worship Services

Our worship services are organized around diverse themes and seek to touch both head and heart.  We always strive to create a space where people can find deeper spiritual truth and meaning that enhances their life.

Worship services incorporate both traditional and contemporary elements.  Our members participate in the service through music, chime choir, scripture reading, and other special ministries.

The Sunday morning worship begins at 9:30 a.m.  Holy Communion is served the first Sunday of each month.  Services, such as, Christmas Eve Candlelight, Maundy Thursday Holy Communion, Lenten experiences, and other worship events are scheduled and announced in the weekly bulletin and on this web site.
