We gather every Sunday morning at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 a.m. for worship. All of our services feature God's Word proclaimed through Bible readings, prayer, music, and liturgy. You'll hear the Good News of Jesus through preaching that is also applicable to your life, and receive God's Grace in Holy Communion the second and fourth Sunday each month.

We have ample parking on site, with designated areas for guests and handicap parking. If you need to drop off a passenger, we have a circular loop near the front doors.

Everyone dresses a little differently —some dress up, but most dress casually. If your team is playing that day - come in your jersey. We're not concerned with what you wear, we'll just be glad that you're here!
