Frequently Asked Questions

The 11:00 am worship is held in the sanctuary and contains many traditional elements – a choir, hymns, a children’s message, scripture, a sermon and the Lord’s Prayer. Sunday School is offered directly following the children’s time. And, you are invited to stay after the worship for refreshments and fellowship.
