New Worship Schedule

Contemporary Worship in the Family Life Center
This contemporary service offers a unique come-as-you-are worship experience on Saturday evening.  A gathering of celebration will be led by our worship team and band in the Family Life Center, inviting worshipers to lift anthems to our God. There will be time for intimacy with God, reflection on his promises and the opportunity to grow as his Word is declared. Communion will be offered on the second and fourth Saturday of every month. Grace Place will be offered.
