Worship

We look forward to you joining us in worship! We welcome you to come as you are to praise, worship and grow in your faith. Is this your first visit? Here’s what to expect.
 

Celebration Worship

Sundays – 9 a.m.
Sunday Celebration Worship includes hymns lead by our pipe organ, use of hymnals, music from our choirs, pastors wearing robes, and other elements sometimes considered to be “traditional.”

Praise Worship

Sundays – 10:30 a.m.
Sunday Praise Worship includes praise songs and hymns led by our praise band and singers, with most songs and group readings projected on a screen. Pastors usually don’t wear robes, and they present a Children’s Time where the children gather in the front of the sanctuary.

 

Powered Up Faith: Do you feel like your faith has stalled out? It’s time to power up! Our faith can vary in its intensity as we journey with God. Anywhere along the road, we may get stalled. That’s why it is so important to surround ourselves with others as we live a life of faith—our faith is enriched by encouraging one another and building each other up when we run out of energy. Instead of giving in to spiritual inertia, choose to go to Power Up! Join us for one, some, or all of the following six sessions where you can get the resources to help you power up your faith! 1. Worship and Prayer: Charging your Spiritual Batteries as Individuals and a Community (9/18/2024) 2. Study: Plugging in to Jesus’ Life through Scripture (9/25/2024) 3. Serving: Extending Hope by Working Together (10/2/2024) 4. Giving: Boosting Our Reach through our Time, Talents and Treasures (10/9/2024) 5. Sharing: Generating Interest by Sharing our Faith Stories (10/15/2024) 6: Gifted for Ministry: Exploring Your Spiritual Gifts (10/23/2024)

Crossroads Community will be joining the Powered Up Faith Sessions on Wednesdays and will not meet on Tuesdays until October 29, 2024.
