Worship Service at 11:00 AM
The morning worship service has been our traditional service since 1872. Each service is focused around a sermon prepared by our minister and supplemented by God’s gift of music. This service includes the Chancel Choir who lead all the hymns and sing an anthem selected by the music director. Expect awesome music and an inspirational message with a family atmosphere. Early in our worship service, a short children’s message is given and the children are invited to exit the sanctuary after the message and attend Children’s Church ages 5 to 10 years.
Nursery Care is provided during Adult Sunday School & Worship Service.

Timing
Our Worship Services typically last about an hour, but can run a little longer on special celebration Sundays. We recommend arriving early to find a seat you’re comfortable in and meet a few folks before service begins.
