A shared rhythm of faith

Worship makes room for celebration, reflection, and connection

Our Sunday service follows a Christian rhythm of gathering, listening, responding, sharing communion, and being sent to serve.

Music helps the congregation pray, celebrate, remember, and participate together. Organ, piano, choir, and congregational song support worship without requiring visitors to know every word or custom in advance.

Communion is central to our weekly worship and reflects Christ’s welcome at the table.
