HOW WE WORSHIP

We offer worship services in our Sanctuary and on Zoom and Youtube Sundays at 10 am.

Worship is at the very center of what we do together in community:  We gather to praise God, just as we are, amidst the brokenness of the world, seeking to be transformed by the Word and inspired by the Spirit to bear God’s love and justice. 

We use a variety of music, from traditional protestant hymns to more contemporary ones, from classical to gospel to jazz. We celebrate communion the first Sunday of the each month, and on Maundy Thursday and Christmas Eve.

Our worship services last about an hour, and follow a path from gathering and preparation to listening and responding to the Word of God.

The Community Gathers for Worship

We celebrate with music, scripture, and prepare ourselves for worship by confessing our personal and corporate sins.

The Community Hears the Word of God

We hear scripture passages from the Old and New Testaments and the children's message. Our pastors interpret the scripture and how the passages apply to our lives and world today.

The Community Responds to the Word

We return gifts and offerings, pray for ourselves and for the world, and share our joys and concerns. At the close of the service, the pastors commission us to ministry.
