Where do I park?
Ample parking is available at the side and back of the building which is handicap accessible.
How do I enter the building?
Both the front and back door are open on Sunday mornings and there will be someone there to greet you and show you where to go. Our Sanctuary is located up the stairs at the front of the church on the second level.
A traditional, but not formal mixture of scripture, preaching, music, and prayer. Communion is offered to all on the first Sunday of the month, and occasionally we have special services including baptisms, mission project celebrations, as well as youth and children-led services. Before entering the sanctuary, our ushers will give you a bulletin/program for that week’s order of service which includes prayers, hymns, announcements, and an upcoming calendar of events.

Sunday Evening Worship
5:00-6:00 PM
every 1st and 3rd Sunday
in the chapel (except July & August)
Stay connected with God and your church in the midst of your busy lives. We offer an additional, informal, Sunday evening service. This is a small, simple service of singing, prayers, readings and a message from Pastor John; much of it simplified content from the 10:00 AM service. It is family, kid, and adult friendly and less than an hour, with Communion on the first Sunday (not on the third). If this is something that interests you and fits your schedule let us know or simply show up. And yes, those of you zealots among us feel free to double dip and come twice. Let us know if there are other ways we can help you stay connected.
