IN-PERSON WORSHIP
Sunday worship services are held in our sanctuary at 9am and 11am. You can prepare for worship by listening to the setlist on Spotify!
Masks are optional. There is a marked "masks required" section in the front right of the sanctuary for those who don't wish to sit with unmasked attendees.
ONLINE WORSHIP
You can join us virtually via our live-streamed service at 9am on YouTube or Facebook, or watch the service on either platform later!

MISSIONS SUNDAY
OFFERING UPDATE
Every year, we take a special Missions Offering, which is used primarily to provide a love gift to all of the missionaries sent out from our church (with a small portion given to BIC World Missions). Since we started collecting this past Sunday, we've reached and surpassed our goal of $12,000 for this year! Praise the Lord!
Together, we've given $14,077.16, and we're not done yet! Each of us is encouraged to ask God for direction in what we are to share in order to support and bless our missionaries. You can still give your Missions Offering online, in the box in the lobby, or by mailing a check to the church (marked Missions Offering) through the end of November.
