Traditional Worship Service

Our traditional worship service begins each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary. Can’t be here in person? Worship with us virtually through Facebook Live or Zoom, and be part of the service from home.

Experience the beauty of worship through harmonious music offered by the chancel choir, bell choirs, instrumentalists, and piano or organ.

Following the service, we invite you to Fellowship Hour in the Fellowship Hall. Enjoy light refreshments, warm conversation, and community togetherness.


Home Communion visits are available every month.
