We gather for corporate worship each Sunday. There is a nursery/children's area adjacent to the sanctuary where parents can care for their children's needs. We celebrate the Lord's Table every Sunday at the conclusion of our service. Each week after the worship time we share a fellowship meal over the lunch hour. During the summer season, we gather on Wednesday evenings at the church at 7:00 PM for corporate prayer and fellowship. A study emphasis will resume this fall--the focus for which is yet to determined. Special events are also planned and scheduled throughout the year as needed.
