We worship together through . . .

  • Singing Praise: We lift our voices in honor of God for who He is, what He has done, and what He will do. Feel free to stand or sit, sing along, or simply listen.

  • Biblical Teaching: We believe the Bible is God’s Word to us, teaching us how to know Him better and live for Him more devotedly.

  • Spiritual Commitment and Communion: If you are a Christian and want to participate in the Lord’s Supper, please do so after focusing your heart and mind on Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins (Luke 22:17-20).

  • Giving Back to God: The Bible instructs us to give cheerfully and willingly (2 Corinthians 9:7). If you would like to experience the joy that comes from giving back to God, please do so as an act of worship and devotion to the Lord. Click here for more ways you can give.

  • Prayer: Following the service, our pastors and elders are available at the front of the auditorium for prayer, to answer questions, to help you in your spiritual growth, or contact the church office to speak to a pastor.
