What do I need to know about the worship service?
Our worship service begins at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday morning. You are welcome to join us in person or watch live or view the replay on YouTube.
Our services follow a liturgical setting, a framework of worship elements passed down in the church for centuries. This includes hymns (both beloved classics and new songs), readings from the Bible, communion, prayers, and much more.
The communion table is Jesus’ gift to us and is open to all.
How will I know where to go?
Enter the campus using either of the two entrances from Union Avenue. Parking is available on all four sides of the campus. Look for the signs that direct you to the Worship Center. It is the biggest building, located at the south end of the campus. The main entrance is located near the courtyard in the center. We are glad you are here so ask anyone for help if you need it.
When you enter the Worship Center you will find a greeter who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. The bathrooms are located down the hall to your left as you head into the worship space. Changing tables are available in both restrooms.
What about the kids?
During Service
Children are always welcome in worship. We have a play table at the back of the sanctuary with coloring supplies and some toys.
Children's Message
After the second reading, children will be invited to come up for the Children's Message. Adults are welcome to come with them. After a short conversation and prayer, children can go to Children's Church with our adult volunteers if they wish.
Children's Church
Teachers will lead kids in crafts, games, songs or other activities in the nursery room just off the kitchen. Kids typically return to the sanctuary before communion. Parents can also use the nursery for their kids at any time during the service.
What should I wear?
Come as you are!
You will find a wide range of styles among us from dressed-up to very casual. We want you to feel comfortable and included in our worship space. Jeans are common. During warmer weather you will find folks wearing shorts!
