    What to expect

    Please come with your questions and your doubts, just
    come as you are! Most weeks our worship service is
    traditional in style, but once a month we hold a
    "blended" service. Either way, you will be given a
    bulletin to guide you through it, and the worship leader
    will help cue you when to sing, pray, listen, and join in.
    Our service lasts about one hour and includes music, a
    message, prayers, and early in the service a special
    time of prayer and worship for the children.

    Communion

    Communion, or eucharist as some of you may know it,
    is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month.
    Participation is entirely optional and there is no
    pressure to take part if you feel you are not ready.

    Sunday School

    Educational classes are provided for pre-school (age 4)
    through grade 8 during the Sunday worship service. All
    children begin Sunday worship upstairs with their
    parents and are dismissed early in the service to
    attend their own gathering and then classes.

    Nursery

    We offer a warm and caring nursery area to care for
    our littlest folks during the service. The nursery is
    staffed by a professional, first aid certified, CORI
    checked individual.

    Baptism

    Are you looking to have your child baptized? The first
    step is to find a church which is a good fit for your
    family, begin attending that church regularly, and then
    speak to the pastor about baptism. Baptism is the
    formal start of a faith journey, a journey best enjoyed
    in the company of others. Some of our families choose
    to postpone baptism until their child is old enough to
    take the vows for him or herself. In those cases, we
    offer to dedicate their children. In either case, the
    intent is that the youth of the church will take
    confirmation class when they are in either the ninth or
    tenth grade; at the conclusion of that, they will decide
    whether or not to “confirm” their baptismal vows for
    themselves, or in the case of an individual who has
    never been baptized, be baptized. When adults who
    have never been baptized choose to join the church,
    we baptize them at that time.
