Sunday AM Service: 10 a.m.

Children and Youth: Because we feel it is important for families to
worship God together, children and youth, ages three-years through high
school, begin in the main sanctuary with everyone. Please sign-in your
children before service. After we have prayed for them, their teachers will
lead them to their classrooms for teaching and activities. Parents of
children under three may drop them off before service in the Infants &
Crawlers and Toddlers rooms. Pick up your children following
the service.

Prayer Before Service: Join us every Sunday morning at 9 a.m., to pray
specifically for the morning services, that God will do a life-changing work in
every person, young and old. We meet in the Library, which is located down
the hall on the left side of the lobby.
Prayer After Service: There are people available up front on the right
side of the stage after every service to pray with you.
Communion: Communion service is the first Sunday of every month.
Offerings: There are offering boxes available at the back of the sanctuary
for those who want to worship God in this way and help support this church
financially. It is the responsibility of all of the members to be involved in this
very important part of worship and sharing. At the same time, we do not
want anything to distract a person’s attention from a life-changing
encounter with Jesus Christ. If you do not consider yourself a member of
this church yet, please do not feel obligated to give. You are our guest, and
we are glad you are here!
