Programs and Services
Our Sunday School time is an important part of our Sunday Morning Service. It's in the setting of warm and friendly classes that we interact, share joys and concerns, test our individual ideas, and encourage each other to grow. Our worship service is a time of celebration and praise, hearing God's Word and responding to his love for us.
Special services are held throughout the year. A variety of events such as church picnics, retreats, and holiday programs knit us together as a family.
