Worship Times

8:30 a.m.
This first service of the morning is engaging in style and rich in tradition. The four-fold pattern of United Methodist worship (gathering, hearing God's word, responding to God's word, sending out) includes a children's message,as well as a children's worship opportunity for children in 4K and 5K. Music is led by an assembled choir.

9:55 a.m.
This worship experience celebrates the rich four-fold style of the ancient Church, with a modern acoustic sound by our reNew band and an artful blend of visual technology and sacramental celebration.

11:15 a.m.
Following the four-fold pattern of United Methodist worship, with music led by a robed chancel choir, this service also includes a children's message, as well as a children's worship opportunity for children in 4K and 5K.

The same powerful message is shared at all services. The United Methodist service of Word and Table is used on the first Sunday of every month as we share in the Sacrament of Holy Communion. The bulletin and announcements for the upcoming Sunday are always available on our worship page.
