WHAT TO EXPECT

We have a multi-generational attendance with a range of ages from children to senior adults, and worship styles to suit most tastes. Come early or stay late and enjoy free coffee or juice and muffins in our cafe on Sunday mornings. The cafe opens before the 8:30 service and stays open until after the 11:00 service.

HOW WE DRESS: Our attenders dress in a wide range of attire, from t-shirts and jeans to shirts and ties. You will feel comfortable in anything you wish to wear.

SERVICE STYLES

On Sunday morning, we offer two worship services. The first is the 8:30AM service and incorporates many timeless and classic elements of worship, with music driven mostly by piano and organ. The 11:00AM service is a modern take with guitar-driven worship, full praise band, and choir with various multimedia elements.

SERVICE LENGTH: Worship services usually last about 1 hour and 15 minutes with worship lasting approximately 45 minutes and the sermon approximately 30 minutes.

WHERE TO GO

If you come up the main drive, the first entrance you will come to is the main entrance. Through those doors is the foyer and the worship center is on the left. There is also an entrance from the parking lot which enters into our educational wing; the foyer is at the end of the hall and the worship center just beyond.

WHERE DO MY KIDS GO?: We offer nursery for children birth to 2 years for all services. During the 11:00AM service, we offer the Lil' Praise service for 3 years to Kindergarten, and Kidz Church for grades 1-5.
