OUR WORSHIP SERVICE
What is your worship service like?
Our service is about 90 minutes long. The style is fairly liturgical, and we seek an atmosphere of reverent joy. During the service, we sing, pray, profess our faith, confess our sins, hear a sermon based on the Bible, and enjoy the sacraments together.What is your music like?
We sing a mix of old hymns and contemporary worship songs from a variety of sources such as Getty Music, Passion, CityAlight, and others. You can listen to a playlist from our Sunday worship here.How often do you celebrate the Lord’s Supper?
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper once a month.What do people wear?
You’ll see a range of attire—from jeans to ties and dresses. Most people are somewhere in between, so come as you are.CHILDREN & FAMILIES
