What to Expect...

Our Atmosphere is warm and inviting. You´ll notice that everyone is dressed comfortably, in anything from "office casual" to jeans and sneakers. There should be some friendly people (we call them greeters) to say hello, answer any questions you have, and direct you to the auditorium. If you have kids, you can stop by the Children and Youth Ministry Table located in the middle of our facility near the Cafe and someone will help you register your children.

When you come in the building, you´ll be given a copy of "the Bulletin" which has the week´s announcements. You´ll notice the Bulletin has a tear-off slip, which is an easy way for us to get better acquainted; you can ask for information or assistance, or submit a prayer request using the tear-off slip. We will pray for your needs or assist you any way that we can.

Prior to our service, enjoy a cup of coffee and light refreshments in the Connection Cafe, located between the foyer and sanctuary. The Cafe is a good place to meet new people or to simply relax before the service begins.

We begin our services with a time of dynamic praise and worship with our full worship band consisting of electric and acoustic guitars, electric base, keyboards, drums, trumpet and singers. Our songs range from music you would hear on contemporary Christian radio to the hymns of the Faith. Our congregation is expressive. You'll see some raising hands, clapping or dancing as the Spirit leads us. During our Worship time, communion is made available at either side of the stage for you to take individually or as a family. Periodically throughout the year we also participate in corporate communion together (see Sacramental Procedures).

Our preaching and teaching is Bible-based, Christ-centered and Spirit-led. We also use different forms of media to enhance presentation and message content. Sermons are challenging, relevant and inspiring causing Faith, Hope and Love to grow in your heart. As the service concludes, we often have personal ministry through prayer and encouragement or a time of celebration in praise and thanksgiving. Periodically we also have guest speakers throughout the year.

Our children and teen ministries are also dynamic and relevant for today's youth. Our mission program and local outreaches are touching hearts and homes both in our community and around the globe. And we have small groups and seminars to help us grow in God. Come experience grace with us!

Service Times: Sunday 10am, Wednesdays 7pm. Teen Ministry Sunday 6:30pm and Wed. 7pm.
