Sunday worship is the center of our life. Yet at the center is diversity in spirit and ways we worship God. Between the different services offered and numerous opportunities for both adults and children to participate and grow their faith, we strive for all to not just hear that they’re welcome, but to truly feel it, and to experience the grace of God.
