Sunday School

Building community and strengthening friendships are important to us, and it’s something we do well. Sunday School provides multiple opportunities to develop new friendships and to get connected into the life of the church. From six weeks to sixty-plus years, we have a place for you. Discover a class that’s tailored to your stage in life, or contact us to speak with a minister and see how we can help you “experience community.”
Worship
Sunday Nights
10:00am
Our worship services are held each Sunday morning at 10:00am in the church Sanctuary. Children can choose from a variety of activities from the worship cart in the Narthex (the foyer directly outside of the sanctuary) to guide them as the follow along with the service.
5:00pm
Our Sunday night schedule begins at 5:00pm with Youth Sunday Nights in the Youth Room. No time to prepare dinner beforehand? No problem! Dinner begins at 6:00pm in the Fellowship Hall. Every other week, dinner is provided by a team. On alternating weeks, dinner is a themed potluck. Sunday nights provide a relaxed, casual atmosphere offers and an opportunity for adults to sit around a table with new and established friends to eat and discuss meaningful questions that apply to everyday life. Children’s and youth activities are also available.
What to Expect
Worship is the heart of what we gather to do as a community of faith.
Week after week, we begin our service with the traditions of the church—singing both modern praise songs and ancient hymns, reading aloud passages of the Bible, preaching—and invite others to join the journey of faith. Each service begins with inspiring music led by our church choir or praise team. As you enter the Sanctuary, you will be given an Order of Worship to follow along with throughout the service. The congregation typically sings multiple songs. You will also hear a message based on the Bible. The heart of our church is to help people grow in their relationships with God and other people. It is our hope that the message will encourage and challenge you to do just this.

What do you believe?
Unlike many Christian denominations, Baptists are not unified through a central governing authority. What we have are four historic freedoms that we piece together to create our distinctively Baptist identity.
