Coming together as the Body of Christ is the cornerstone of Christian life. 

"For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." (Matthew 18:20, NIV)

By congregating in God's house - rejoicing as we share the Good News, lifting up our concerns, offering praise for blessings bestowed - not only is our own faith reaffirmed, but we sustain and encourage others in the faith.

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together ... but let us encourage one another" (Hebrews 10:24-25, NIV)

Equally important as shared worship is having daily, private time with God.  The Gospels give us numerous examples of Christ himself withdrawing from his disciples and followers to be alone with God. Invariably, Jesus emerged from these times of seclusion recharged, strengthened, and encouraged to do God's will, despite the ultimate cost to himself.

We, too, need to retreat daily to study God's word, meditate on its meaning in our own life, and lift our concerns and thanks in prayer.  Most of all, we need to be quiet and listen for our Heavenly Father's whispers of loving guidance.

We offer the following links as entry points into a closer relationship with God.

We invite and encourage you to join us at our Sunday Services:

• Casual Worship at 8:45 AM in the Sanctuary: The pastor's weekly message is augmented by music from our praise band and contemporary songs of praise for an invigorating worship experience.
  
  
• Traditional Worship at 10:45 AM in the Sanctuary: Traditional hymns, songs from the Chancel Choir, special music experiences, and affirmations of faith combine with the pastor's weekly message to provide a warm and meaningful service.
  
  
• Children's Church: After their sharing time during the 10:45 AM traditional service, children aged 4 through 7 leave the sanctuary for their own time of singing, stories, prayer, and Bible-oriented activities.

We also have a variety of special worship services throughout the liturgical year -- including Advent and Holy Week -- to highlight and celebrate the events central to Christian faith. Look for announcements of these special services on our home page.
