Looking for a few precious moments of peace and perspective in your busy week? We hold worship services each Sunday at 10:30am.
Our worship ministry has many components that are updated each week. We encourage you to "mix and match" the pieces to find out what works best for you.

Ready for a break from all your screen time? Why not join either the Fall or Winter/Spring session of Bible Study on Thursdays at 11am? It's much more than Bible Study, though. We discuss the message of the Bible through the lens of a book or commentary. Contact the church office for details. We'd love to see you in person!
From September through to December, 2026 our theme will be "Technology and the Spirit." Our first session is Thursday, September 24. Get a listing of the texts and themes for the fall here.
