What should I expect in church?
You should expect to be accepted and welcomed as soon as you walk in the door. We are a body that truly believes in extending love, respect and acceptance to one another and practice that at every opportunity.
Expect to experience a more contemporary worship service, with music led by our Worship Team and live band. You should feel free to sing and clap with us or worship however you feel led. We encourage you to worship in whatever manner you are comfortable. Expect to see creative videos, dramas, and other media used whenever appropriate to enhance the message, extend worship, & make the service memorable and meaningful. You may expect fresh, insightful and relevant messages from Pastor Steve. You will hear messages that delve into the Bible to give you sound knowledge, spiritual guidance, strength and encouragement for daily living.

What about my kids?
We have a special service just for your kids that is led by our amazing Children’s Pastor, Jamie. Here, your children will learn about Jesus through exciting music, fun games, and a message designed just for kids. Your kids will never want to leave!
What about my teenager?
The teenagers stay in the main service on Sunday and join in our Worship Services. Our Sunday sermons are just as relevant for teenagers as they are for adults.
What about my baby?
We even have a place for your baby! We have a nursery that is open every time there is a service. Our Nursery Directors and other volunteers who LOVE babies, will do an amazing job, safely keeping your baby, while you enjoy the service.
What should I wear?
There is no dress code or expectation of dress. Just dress comfortably. Some people dress up, others dress down. Either one is fine. We believe that God cares more about the condition of our hearts, than the clothes on our backs.
What other stuff happens during the week?
On Sunday nights at 6:00pm we have Growth Groups. Click here for more information regarding Growth Groups currently being offered.
On Wednesday nights at 6:30pm, we have our weekly prayer service, called Prayer Matters. This is a unique service. If you have anything you need to pray about, you can come this night and we will pray with you. Like our main service, it is open to anyone who wants to come, even non-members.
We also have a service for our Teenagers (Chosen) and children (AWANAS) on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm. Both of these programs are geared for these specific age groups.
Our teenagers (6th - 12th grade) meet in the youth room,designed specifically for a “teenish” environment. It is equipped two huge flat screens, video games and foosball (for before and after the service) and a stage with a complete sound system. The service is led by our awesome youth pastor, Jonathan Blackmon and the youth workers. This is a group of adults who relate well to our youth and all have a passion to see your teenager grow in Christ.
