Worship

What to Expect

Warm Welcome: From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and a friendly atmosphere. We embrace people of all backgrounds, cultures, and identities.  We have a relaxed, informal atmosphere in which everyone dresses as they are most comfortable. Some wear jeans and t-shirts, others wear business casual. Come as you are — you will fit right in!

Inspirational and Contemplative Music: Our worship includes a blend of contemporary and traditional music, reflecting the diverse tastes and traditions of our congregation. We value participation regardless of musical ability, so feel free to sing along or you can simply enjoy the melodies.

Children: Children are valued members of our community, and we love having them, their energy, and their curiosity present in worship. During the weekly Blessing of the Students segment, a member of our community shares an interactive, child-friendly lesson related to the text.  We also maintain a kids’ station in the sanctuary with Bible-based coloring sheets and art supplies. Knowing, however, that infants and preschoolers have other needs, we also offer an optional nursery during worship that is staffed by CORI-checked volunteers.

Engaging Sermons: Each week, a member of our pastoral staff delivers a message that is both thought-provoking and relevant to everyday life. We aim to inspire and challenge you in your faith journey, recognizing the unique perspectives each person brings.

Communion: We observe communion each week at the close of the service, remembering the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Communion is a means of grace; all are welcome at the Table of God, regardless of background or tradition. (Read more about our beliefs regarding communion.)

Baptisms: When we have a baptism, we incorporate it into the weekly worship service so the whole community can celebrate together.  We welcome individuals from all walks of life to take this important step. (Read more about our beliefs regarding baptism.) If you’re interested in baptism for yourself or a family member, please contact our pastoral staff.

Community Connection: After the service, we invite you to join us for coffee and fellowship, followed by Sunday School for all ages. It’s a great opportunity to meet new friends and connect with our church family in a welcoming and informal environment.

Special Services

Holidays: We celebrate Christian holidays, such as Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, and Good Friday, with a variety of special midweek services. In these special services, we often experiment with a variety of worship styles and experiences in order to set them apart as something truly special and meaningful. Watch the calendar or our update posts for days and times of special services.
