What type of church are you?
We are a Presbyterian church, rooted in the Reformed tradition. We believe in the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—as the one true God revealed in Scripture. Our faith is Christ-centered, guided by God’s Word, and strengthened by the Spirit as we worship, serve, and grow together.
Do you offer childcare during services?
Yes! We have nursery care and age-appropriate activities so parents can fully participate in worship knowing their children are cared for. We also encourage children to participate in the children's sermon if they are comfortable.
What type of music do you have in worship?
Our services feature both traditional hymns and a contemporary praise team, as well as a choir and a cherub (children's) choir. We’re always excited to welcome new voices and musicians to join our music ministry!
