What to Expect
What time does the Service start? What do I wear?Sunday morning worship services begin at 10:30am. We open with songs of worship, followed by preaching from the Word of God. If you look around you'll see everything from casual to dressy attire--come in what suits you best.
What's available for my kids?If you haven't noticed already, we love children! Nursery care is available for infants and toddlers. During the first portion of our morning service all ages worship together. Then children ages 4-7 and children 8 to 12 are dismissed to Junior Church for a time of fun and instruction during the second half of the service.
What should I expect from the service?Because we know adults want more than just a Sunday morning 'spiritual high', our services are designed to provide practical messages that are a careful balance between the Spirit and the Word, to help you cope with real life issues. Our worship is passionate and celebratory interspersed with prayer and intercession. Not to sound too cliched, but when you are here, you are family!
Welcome
We are a multi-generational church passionate about worshipping God in all that we do.
We know that visiting a new church, any new church, can be an uncomfortable experience. What do I wear? How do I get there? What's available for my kids? What should I expect from the service? We want to clear away some of those questions so you are free to experience a great time of worship and communion with our Lord and His people.
Because we know parents are rightfully concerned about having a safe and enjoyable environment in which to learn about God, we’ve established a solid nursery and children’s ministry.
And because we know adults want more than just a Sunday morning ‘spiritual high’ our services are designed to provide practical messages that are a careful balance between the Spirit and the Word, that help you cope with real life issues. Our worship is passionate and celebratory, interspersed with prayer and intercession. Not to sound too clichéd, but when you are here, you are family!
What We Believe
About God
About Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and that He is both fully God and fully man. Jesus lived a sinless life, fulfilling all the law and prophets, and He freely offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all mankind by dying on a cross. He was dead and buried. After three days, He rose again, demonstrating His power over both sin and death. He ascended into Heaven and will one day return to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.
About the Holy Spirit
About the Bible
About Mankind
We believe that since mankind is created in God's image, human life is of inestimable worth and significance in all its dimensions, from conception to the grave.
About Salvation
We believe good works are the necessary fruits of faith and follow regeneration, but they do not have the virtue to remove our sins or to avert divine judgment. We believe good works, pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ, spring from a true and living faith, for through and by them faith is made evident.
