Sunday Mornings

In many ways, the greatest way in which we can minister to others is by pleading with the Lord to help in time of need. We gather for prayer every Sunday morning at 8:45am.  Entire families are encouraged to attend.

First of all, our worship is God-centered. We focus our praise on Him, not on our preferences of worship style. Our focus is also Christ-Centered. We love singing songs that exalt our Savior and focus upon our redemption.

We believe in the power of God's word clearly proclaimed.  Therefore, we are committed to expository preaching, that is, preaching that "exposes" the meaning of the text.  This usually takes the form of preaching verse by verse through books of the Bible.

We seek to include children in our worship services.  Thus, we include notes for the children during our sermons, which coordinate with the message being preached. After the sermon, the preaching pastor will meet with the children and reward them with a treasure.

We provide a nursery for children ages birth through three years old.  We also have a "cry room" with a speaker so that parents can still hear the sermon while caring for a child.

Just prior to the weekly sermon, children ages 4-7 are dismissed for a time of age-appropriate Biblical instruction. 

Our current curriculum is Generations of Grace from Grace Community Church.

On the first Sunday of each month, we enjoy a churchwide potluck style lunch together. This helps to extend our fellowship time with each other. If you are visiting on a potluck Sunday, we encourage you to stay and enjoy food and fellowship with us.

We have many resources to help you grow in your Christian life.


Mid-Week Ministries

Currently, we are not having any Family Night meetings.

We will be starting our "Flocks" (small groups) after labor day. There will be four separate groups, some meeting Friday evenings and some meeting Sunday evenings. The study will be on Timothy Keller's "Gospel In Life" series. You can  explore this series on its website here. More details about this study are coming soon.


Our desire is to help fathers disciple their sons.  So, dads and sons (ages 10 and up) meet every other Wednesday evening to address some aspect of Biblical manhood.  During the off Wednesdays, fathers are encouraged to engage their son(s) in a discussion or activity that has their discipleship as its goal.

Currently, the Man to Man group is reading Francis Chan's book Crazy Love.

Our desire is to help mothers disciple their daughters.  So, mothers and daugthers (ages 10 and up) meet every other Wednesday evening to address some aspect of Biblical womanhood. During the off Wednesdays, mothers are encouraged to engage their daughter(s) in a discussion or activity that has their discipleship as its goal.

Currenlty, the Girl Talk group is reading through Elisabeth Elliot's "The Shaping of A Christian Family."

The ladies of the church meet for Bible study on Tuesday evenings (7:00-8:30 p.m.) in various homes of the church.

Our Ladies Bible Study will resume in the Fall.
