Join us at the church building Sunday mornings at 9am & 11am for our Celebrations!  In person prayer begins at 10:30 in classroom 3.

  • Grow Zone for children 3yrs through 12yrs is offered at the 9am celebration (Check-in children on arrival in the lobby). Children join their parents in service until they are dismissed to Grow Zone after worship and prayer. On the first Sunday of the month, we celebrate communion and the Grow Zone children are dismissed to class after communion.
  • The Nursery for little ones up to age 3 is available during both celebrations Sunday morning (parents can drop off before they enter the sanctuary or at anytime throughout the Celebration).
