Reminder: Summer Worship Schedule Change

Please note that our services have switched and will continue this way for the rest of the summer.


July 28 - September 1

10:30 am - Traditional


Sunday, August 4 – 11th Sunday After Pentecost

Come and hear God’s Word and share in the Lord’s Supper. We worship at 9 am and 10:30 am. We will livestream both services and will then post them on our video channel later in the day. On this Sunday, Pastor Kessinger will explore what it means to have enough in a culture that encourages us to keep wanting more. Come and worship! All are welcome.


Thank you! This week we have all of our worship leaders in place. You can always sign up for the upcoming weeks.
