Who we are
Gathered to Worship, Sent to Bless
Our faith community was formed in a tradition that declares all of life is worship. Whether we work or play, study or rest, or whatever we do, we do all for the glory of God. We come from different walks of life, different occupations, schools, and neighborhoods. Gathering to worship each week, we are reminded that we belong to God. Our individual stories find their place in the great story of redemption that God in Christ is bringing about.
Our worship forms us and nourishes us for our work in the world. The door out of the sanctuary is the door to our mission fields – our families, our schools, our workplaces, our neighborhoods. God sends us into the world to participate in his great work of redemption, each with our own gifts, tasks, and calling. The joys and successes of our week’s labors, the tears and the failures, we bring back with us to the sanctuary. There we find grace, belonging, and refreshment, and then are sent out once again to bless. This weekly rhythm of being gathered to worship and sent to bless gives shape to our lives and faith.
Our Worship Community
We are a congregation made up of people from a variety of Christian traditions and backgrounds. Ours is a community that is growing in faith, but also one where we can express honest questions and doubt. Our worship is blended, combining the best of the historical Christian church with contemporary music. We proudly sing with our organ or with our worship band – and sometimes both at once! All music, liturgy, and instructions for worship are provided, making our services welcoming and hospitable for visitors. Dress is casual, and we enjoy a time of fellowship together after our worship service.

Sunday School / Children and Youth Activities
Under 12s:
The Little Children
TLC is for children ages three and four, and takes place in rooms 2 & 3 after the children's message during the morning service. In TLC your children will learn Bible stories, how they fit into the story of God's work in our world, and just how much God loves them.
Children's Worship Center
CWC is for children in kindergarten and 1st grade, and takes place in rooms 4 & 5 after the children's sermon. CWC enables children to learn about and experience God in new ways. In their own space, they learn about the liturgy and meaning of worship; they learn how ordinary space is turned into sacred space, and they discover the quietness within themselves to listen to and talk with God. Through Bible stories and reflective questions, they bring their experiences into dialogue with God.
Infant & Toddler Nursery
We provide safe and engaging childcare for infants and toddlers during worship services and other events. Both nurseries are located directly behind the sanctuary. The infant nursery is equipped with cribs for young ones to take naps. Additionally, there is a private room in the infant nursery for nursing mothers. When parents drop off their children at either nursery, they sign an information sheet and leave a cell phone number in case their child needs them during the worship service.
Sunday School
Sunday school is offered for children in preschool through 12th grade. All Sunday school classes begin at 9:15am and end at 10:15am. The Sunday school year runs from September through May. A nursery is also provided during this hour for infants and toddlers.
Those in preschool through 5th grade meet in rooms 4 & 5 at 10:00 am to sing lively songs that are fun for everyone!
Those in Junior & Senior High begin all together in the youth wing with bagels, donuts, and laughter. We then separate for class.
Boys' & Girls' Clubs
For kids in 1st - 5th grades, Boys' Club and Girls' Club meet on the first and third Sundays of the month from 5:00-6:30pm. They share a light meal, engage in a craft or activity, and have a Bible lesson. This is a great way for elementary students to get to know each other and share in a time of learning and fun!
