Our Sunday worship gathering is the spiritual center of our life together. Through music, Scripture, preaching, and all-ages programs, we congregate to inspire our lives towards God’s way of love and justice. Our regular Sunday worship service is always held at 10 a.m. in our sanctuary. To join our hybrid Worship service via Zoom, please use the link below.

We understand that walking through church doors can be daunting. When you walk through ours, you can expect a wide, warm welcome and enough sensitivity to respect space if you need it. Worship services typically involve a happy blend of traditional and informal aspects of church: some people wear shorts and sandals while some wear a suit; organ music is coupled with memorable sung refrains; choir anthems ring out alongside semi-spontaneous “Amens”; silence is practiced alongside congregational prayers. The Sunday message balances Scriptural study with our daily lives and world. Children are heartily embraced. After church we drink coffee and chat, and during Second Hour we hear about relevant contemporary topics. In short, we have a great time, and hope you will, too.

There are some services that we love, or that our tradition holds so dear, that we do again and again every year. A few are recent innovations, and some are ancient favorites. These annual services include: Blessing of the Backpacks and Animals Sundays, All-Ages Christmas Pageant, Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols Service, Maundy Thursday Blues, Lenten Messiah Sing, Easter, Youth Sunday, and \Commencement Day Service at The Clark.
