You can find out more about who we are and what we’re doing through our social media:
Church is about knowing Him (Jesus)
and making Him known.
Church may look a little different lately (due to a mask and social distancing request from our governor) but we are still meeting in person for Sunday services each week at 10 am.
Here’s what you can expect on a Sunday morning:
- You’ll be greeted by a friendly face at the front doors
- Once you enter the church building we ask you to put your mask on (not required for children under 5).
- You’ll be handed a church bulletin by one of our friendly helpers and you can find a seat in one of our rows (that are 6 feet apart)
- Once you’re seated, you can remove your mask when you’re in your chair (we ask you to put your mask back on when you’re moving about the building).
- Gradeschool Kids ministry is safely open again – they can get their name tags and check in starting at 9:45 am and join their friends in the ClubHouse!
- We’ll have worship, a great teaching from our pastor and a time of prayer. We’ll end the service with a time of giving and we have “touch free” giving stations in the back of the sanctuary.
- We’re usually finished with our services in about an hour and you can take a moment to say hi to others and fellowship.
- If you’ll be a guest of ours, please do us a favor and fill out a “Connect Card” so we can send you an email or give you a call to thank you for coming and answer any questions you may have.
If you’re not comfortable joining us in person, please enjoy our services weekly on our Facebook page or our YouTube Channel.
