Worship Overview

The Lord's Supper is served at each service, and our Table is open to all who wish to participate. We offer a special Children's Procession during the sermon time each week from our 9:45 service to their Sunday School classes. The back of our Sanctuary has a family-friendly area just for parents and babies under the age of one. We provide a staffed nursery for children ages one through four. Our church is air-conditioned, and an indoor lift provides full accessibility to the Sanctuary. Sunday School classes, for children age 3 to grade 6, are held each Sunday from 10:00am until 11:00am.  Confirmation classes for children in 7th and 8th grades meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm until 7:30pm. An adult forum, covering various aspects of our faith and the Bible, is held from 9:10am. until 9:40am. on most Sundays.
