Worship is at the heart of the life of a Christ Follower.
In worship we offer our sacrifice of praise in song, in prayer, and in our lives. Our worship service is offered each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Sunday School for Children kindergarden to 5th grade is provided after childrends time during the service. Special seasonal services occur throughout the year.

Bringing children to worship may not always be easy, but it is an essential part of their growth as Christ Followers.
Faithful Children
It is our desire that worship be a positive, nurturing experience for our children. Developmentally-appropriate behaviors are expected and appreciated - infants' screams, toddlers’ wiggles, and pre-schoolers’ questions and tantrums are normal. We recognize that parents may feel their children are "interrupting" the service.
 "Then little children were being brought to him in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples spoke sternly to those who brought them; but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." And he laid his hands on them and went on his way." (Matt. 19:13-15)
This story from the Gospel reminds us of the role of children in the Kingdom of God. Relax! God put the “wiggle” in children.

Holy Communion is a sacrament.
The word sacrament comes from a Latin word for vow or promise and a Greek word for mystery. Sacraments are ritual practices that connect us to the mystery of God’s love and grace and call us to respond in faith. While there are many ways of opening to the love and grace of God, United Methodists recognize two rituals as sacraments: baptism and Holy Communion. These are the only two practices that Jesus specifically commands in the Gospels (see Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 22:14-21). Baptism is our welcome to the family of Christ; Holy Communion sustains and nourishes us on our journey of faith.
