What To Expect
A normal Sunday Worship service is about 75 minutes.
We offer a nursery for infants and toddlers and a special room in the
Worship Center for parents whose kids get a little "squirmish" during the service.
Children up to 2nd Grade are invited to our Kingdom Kidz Worship Service.
Our Worship Team blends modern worship songs and even traditional hymns.
You will hear a message from God's Word as we believe all Scripture is useful for teaching and correction according to 2 Timothy 3.
Dress is casual. Some wear jeans and others wear dress pants.
The main thing for us is that you come to worship!
