Sunday Worship 10:00am
In-person and Online
What to Expect on Sunday
Our services include music, greeting and announcements, offering, and a message that is relevant to your daily life. Our music (link to music ministry page) is a blend of contemporary and traditional, led by our organist and praise band, along with multiple choirs.
We use a large screen at our worship services, hymnals are also available in the pew racks.
Please wear whatever makes you comfortable as you worship God. There is no dress code. On any given Sunday dress ranges from dresses / suits and ties to shirts and jeans.
Accessibility
We have an elevator that is easily accessible from the upper or lower parking lot of our church. It reaches both levels of our church and is located in the middle of the building. We also have handicapped-accessible restrooms. We’ve installed “hearing loop” technology in the sanctuary that allows those with hearing aids equipped with a “T-Coil” to experience much-improved sound quality. We also have a very limited number of headsets equipped with the same technology (available from an usher).
Child Care
During Summer Worship, childcare is available for Infant- 3 year olds in the nursery and for ages 4 – grade 5 in the Chapel. During worship in fall, winter, and spring: Nursery is available during the entire service. All children and youth (Pre-School – 12th grade) begin their morning in the worship service and are then excused to classes after the announcements. Every 1st Sunday of the month is Communion Sunday where our children (grades 3rd – 12th) remain in worship for the entire hour. Our greeters will be happy to direct you to our nursery and Sunday school rooms.
Connections Hour
In addition to attending worship, many people attend Connection Hour in the Fellowship Hall afterwards for coffee, cookies, and fellowship. It’s an opportunity to find out what activities are going on in the church, catch up with friends and meet new people.
Communion
Communion is the first Sunday of every month. Holy Communion (or the Lord’s Supper) is a mystery too deep for words. Its meaning will vary for each of us and from one time to another. But three essential meanings are caught up in this proclamation in our Communion service: “Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.” All Christians are welcome at our table, whatever their denomination. You need not be a member of the United Methodist Church or even a baptized Christian. Children are welcome to take communion. It is up to their parents to decide when they should begin receiving it. We usually serve communion by intinction, which means that you tear off a piece of bread then dip it in the cup of grape juice. We offer gluten-free bread for those who have gluten intolerance. We also use pre-packed communion that can be picked up from the church office if you will be worshiping with us online.
Interested in becoming a member?
New member exploration classes cover a variety of topics and are designed to answer questions about the Christian faith, provide a deeper understanding of what it means to be a “Methodist”, introduce you to the pastoral and lay staff, expose you to the many ministries and serving opportunities of the church, and talk about the membership vows you are asked to make. There are several opportunities each year to participate in a class. Once you have completed this class, you can decide to join or wait until a later date. If you decide to join, you may do so through Confession of Faith or by transfer of membership from another United Methodist Church or other Christian denomination. If you would like to get started, please fill out the new member household information form.
