Service Information
Our worship service highlights some of the traditions of the Christian faith and includes a variety of features such as prayer, traditional hymn singing, accompaniment on both piano and organ, Scripture readings, greeting and fellowship time, and many others. All are designed to help worshipers enrich their experience of the presence of God.
We offer Holy Communion / The Lord's Supper once monthly on the first Sunday of the month, and any who are believers in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and who have taken Him as their personal Lord and Savior may partake of the elements with us.
Child care is provided during both the Sunday School (Infant - High School) and Children's Church (Infant - 5th grade) times.
In addition, our co-pastors, Revs. Joshua & Kelly Melvin, would be happy to talk with you concerning the church, the services and Bible studies, or any other questions you may have.
