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.
The Gathering
Wednesdays – 6 p.m. – Crossroads
The Gathering worship at Crossroads is a smaller, more informal setting to experience the week’s scriptures and message.
Please join us on Tuesday evenings, 6:30-7:30, at Crossroads Ministry Center, 2095 W. Fair Ave.
On October 1, we will be celebrating World Communion Sunday. As a salute to the different cultures of the world, we are inviting you to share souvenirs from your travels for display on the altar (no flags, idols, or weapons). Please bring them to church September 24. If you have questions, please contact John Coen.
Sunday School
Sunday school and Christian education classes are held for nursery through adult, no matter where you are in your faith journey. View our class schedule here.
