WORSHIP SERVICE SURVEY

We are in the process of making decisions about when and where we'll resume in-person worship services, as well as whether we can offer some programming for children during part of the service. Your input will help us in discerning next steps! You can access the survey here.

STAY CONNECTED &
JOIN A SMALL GROUP!

Our Life Groups and studies provide an opportunity to meet together to spur one another on to grow in Christ. During this pandemic, we are more isolated from others. While we may benefit from physical distance, it is essential that we continue to connect with one another. We hope these various groups will help dispel some of the isolation and will help us to study the Word, pray, and grow together! To get involved, check out the informational brochure, watch the introduction video, or sign up here.
