Learn about our different services or see our calendar of services below.
Traditional Worship Service
Familiar hymns, inspiring choral music and thought-provoking sermons are what you’ll find every Sunday in the main sanctuary. The first Sunday of each month we celebrate Holy Communion. Children’s Church, where children can enjoy a special service tailored to their needs is an option.
Emerge
Uplifting contemporary music and real world sermons communicate God’s message as the hallmark of these alternative worship services held in the Potter Chapel every Sunday. We celebrate Holy Communion during this service on the first Sunday of each month. Children’s Church and Nursery and Toddler Care are available for our youngest worshippers.
Summer Chapel Service
Get an early start to Summer Sunday’s in the Potter Chapel. These tradition-based worship services are offered June 2 through August 25.
Enjoy the musical spirituality of Taizé Service
The Taizé experience offers worshippers an opportunity to reclaim their calm, sure focus on God’s presence in their lives. Taizé started in France as a youth movement after the second World War, as a way to bring hope and peace to a discouraged generation. Today, Taizé has spread throughout the world, bringing its message of healing to an ever-growing number of participants.
Blended Services
On occasion throughout the year, we will forgo our two services at 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. for one blended service. Blended services start at 10:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary.
Children’s Church
Worshipping with the whole congregation is so important for children. The opportunity to also spend time with other children helps them build relationships with each other and further their faith development. That’s why during the second half of our worship services we offer children from 4 years to 3rd grade to opportunity to participate in Children’s Church. This wonderful children’s program tailors scripture readings, lessons and activities to be more approachable to our younger ones.
