Expect Comfortable - We realize coming to a church for the first time can be a bit uncomfortable, especially at a small church. While true, we want you to feel at home quickly. We will do our best to help you feel like you've come to visit a friend's house. Wear what you'd wear to a friend's house. Talk like you'd talk at a friend's house. Be who you'd be at a friend's house. We hope we will feel like friends when you leave the service.

Expect Music - Music connects with our minds and emotions differently than a teaching time will. Therefore, every Sunday service will include music because we believe it helps our whole being to be engaged in our experience of Jesus' love and hope. We use hymns and contemporary church songs.

Expect Prayer - Prayer is simply having a conversation with God. We believe God loves us and gives us hope as we engage with him as friends. We pray because we like talking with him as our friend. We also believe God cares about and impacts our lives and the world. Therefore, we share our cares and concerns with him, trusting that he cares for us and works lovingly for our greatest good.

Expect Reading Together - Declaring together the truth and wonder of God's mighty acts to reveal Himself and redeem all of creation is at the heart of our worship. These readings will be directly from the bible or rooted in the bible or the global historical church. Reading together, like singing, unifies our voices, minds, and hearts in worship.

Expect Communion—Communion is a simple reminder of Jesus Christ's love and hope. We use bread or crackers and juice to remind us of the body and blood of Christ, which he willingly gave for us so that we can have a friendship with God through faith in Jesus. Typically, this is passed out to everyone who wants to partake, and then we partake of each element together as a congregation.
