Beginning August 21st, we will be splitting our worship services into two distinct services.
9am will be traditional service in the Sanctuary with weekly communion and predominantly hymns.
11am will be a contemporary service in the Family Life Center with monthly communion and a mixture of praise music band and guitar music.
Transitioning to these formats is going to be a church wide effort so we are asking everyone to pray about and share with us how they would like to participate and serve. Below is a survey to share ways you would be interested in serving or are already serving. This form will help us know who to ask as we schedule people but not a commitment to do something every week. Training is available for all of these things.
