What are Sunday worship experiences like?
1. Casual — Worship services are informal. Some people may wear ties, some may wear jeans. Everyone is welcome.
2. Relaxed — We do sing from a hymnal - both the old standards and some more contemporary songs. We do not use  a praise band or projectors (yet) but we do have fun in worship.
3. Biblical — Our faith is based on the person and work of Jesus the Christ and that the Bible is where the history of salvation and Christ’s teachings are found. God’s Word provides us with all that is necessary for faith. Therefore, we look to the Scriptures for wisdom, understanding, guidance, and truth. The Pastor will preach with the Bible in hand and strives to communicate God’s timeless story in today’s language.
4. Friendly — Newcomers are welcomed as friends and we’ll do all we can to make you feel at home.
5. Fun — Beware the Pastor has a sense of humor - Worship was always meant to be fun. We should enjoy our time in the worship of Christ our Saviour.  
6. "Next Generation" - A few minute block of time carved out during worship that is dovoted to teaching the young and young at heart. 
7. Prayer - At each worship service we do dedicate a time to sharing our praises, pains and concerns with each other and the Lord.
 

Who we are:
   We are a small fellowship of like minded people that feel the call of Jesus on our lives. Through our work with the local food pantry, PEACE Inc. and other local and international ministries we reach out to help all of God's people. We also have deep roots in bringing music and worship opportunities to local nursing homes and assisted living facilities. 

When you walk into our door-
   On any Sunday Morning or Wednesday Evening you will find a small fellowship of caring people. You will definitely not get lost in a crowd.. Much like any growing church you will find people that care about you and are willing to stop at any time to pray for you if you need it. 
  Some Sundays there are very few of us at Worship because several people are out providing Worship at area nursing homes.
  You will find that we enjoy worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ and that we have fun in the process. We tend to be less formal than many churches - dress is casual. 
  Our emphasis is more on living the life that Jesus modeled for us by helping all of God's people than it is on filling our pews. We love to sing songs of worship to our Lord - both modern praise songs and those great hymns that have been around forever.
  We always encourage anyone to come and join in our worship - share your talent of music, poetry or even a reading that touched you.
