What to Expect on a Sunday

We offer three identical services every Sunday (8:15a, 10:00a, 11:45a), each with the same powerful worship and life-giving message—so choose the time that works best for you.

Arrive early! Seats fill up fast, so we encourage you to come a bit early to park, check in kids, and get settled before service starts.

Nursery–5th Grade: In A-Kids, children experience fun, safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a way they’ll love.

6th Grade and Up: Middle and high school students join the main worship experience and grow alongside the church family.

Don't feel like you have to dress up. Most people wear casual attire, but you are welcome to wear whatever makes you comfortable. ​Come as you are!
