Worship Services
Join Us for Worship
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God" (Colossians 3:16) On Sunday mornings, our church family gathers to hear God’s word, to grow in our understanding of God’s will, to experience God’s grace, and to share food and fellowship.
We have Hearing Loop in the sanctuary to assist those with hearing loss.
Worship (10:30 am)
Watch WorshipThis service features our chancel choir, and communion is offered on the first Sunday of the month.
During the 10:30 am service, all children are invited to participate in Faith Sharing with Children.
After Faith Sharing, children in preschool through 2nd grade are invited to attend Grow in Grace where children "grow in grace" through story, music, and play. Each week, participants focus on a Bible story and learn more about it through storytelling, movement, music, and more! Participants will be guided to the lower level of the Sanctuary for Children’s Church by Nursery staff. Please pick them up on the lower level of the Sanctuary after worship. On the first Sunday of the month, children will be brought back to the worship service prior to communion.
Worship and Wonder (1st Sunday of the month, 8:30 am)

An 8:30am intergenerational worship service in the Sanctuary
Worship and Wonder follows a similar order of worship to traditional Sunday mornings, with increased opportunities for experiential learning, including relevant and engaging faith stations. The welcoming atmosphere supports meaningful connections between worshippers of all ages, especially in the singing of joyful hymns and the sharing of the bread and cup at the communion table where all levels of energy are welcome. (*)
Faith stations are one component of the service and seek to foster a sense of wonder about matters of faith. Activities are intentionally designed for a wide variety of learning styles and ages, and can be a solo or shared endeavor. (You don’t have to do all of them.) Go at your own pace? Something like that. Spend as little or as long a time as you’d like at each one.
Join us for muffins, coffee, and juice after the service (and prior to Sunday School) in Bittinger Hall.
Connections deepened | Curiosity encouraged | Communion shared
(*) Nursery is also available
