Where do my kids go?
When you know your children are in a loving and safe environment you can relax, allowing you to focus on worship and Bible Study.

Our pre-schoolers (2 year - 4 year) are actively engaged in Bible stories and fun activities while learning about God's love for them.  All children in grades K-6 meet in their own age appropriate classes to learn about God's plan for them.  The Middle and High School students enjoy meeting together in their groups to study the Bible, discuss issues that are relevant to them and discover how God is alive and at work in their lives. 


What are the Worship Services like?

Our pastor’s messages are based from the Bible.  They use language and stories that relate to everyday life, are practical, relevant, challenging and inspirational.  Our many dynamic worship ministries also serve to help direct our Worship toward God.

What do I wear?

The dress ranges from casual to professional. Please feel free to wear what is most comfortable for you. 


Will I be put on the spot?
We won’t ask you to stand, raise your hand or do anything you’re not comfortable doing. We do ask that you fill out a "Visitor Information Card" so we can better get to know you.  You won’t be pressured to give us information you’d rather keep private or, if you only want to come and simply observe what happens here, that is fine with us!
