We recommend arriving a few minutes prior to Bible class so you have time to grab a cup of coffee and get settled in. 

Likewise, if you are joining us for worship it would be good to arrive a bit early so can grab a bulletin, fill out a nametag and find a place to sit.

Our Sunday mornings look like this:

• 9am Bible Class in the Unsell Center
• 10am Worship with communion in the chapel
• 11am Food and fellowship in the Unsell Center

We have lots of parking. However, you may want to park in the lot between the main building and the Unsell Center as we have activities in each place.

Don't worry about what to wear. No matter if you prefer something casual or wearing your Sunday best, we want you to be comfortable and experience Jesus' love and acceptance. You will see a wide spectrum of clothing choices in our services.

Our services last about an hour. They include a few hymns and songs accompanied on the piano. Our services follow the historic four-fold  structure, which is similar to visiting a good friend.

• We start by ringing the "doorbell" as we call on God's name. Then, we wipe our feet as we confess our sins and receive God's forgiveness. We follow this with a gathering hymn, song, or medley.
• Next, we step into God's living room. This is where we hear from God's Word, have it explained, confess our faith using the words of the Nicene or Apostles' Creed, talk to God in prayer and respond to God's goodness with our offerings. We sing a song as the offerings are brought forward.
• After this, we go to our Lord's Table and eat and drink Jesus' body and blood with bread and wine for the forgiveness of our sins.
• As we are sent back into the mission field, we receive God's blessing and sing a closing song.

We are passionate about communicating the truth about Jesus' love in age-appropriate ways and invite children to worship during the children's sermon each week.

We value having children in worship. We encourage children to worship with their households at the beginning of the service until our children's message. After the children's message, the children leave for children's church and return for communion. On month's that have five Sundays, we have a "Family Service" on the fifth Sunday. This service has elements to engage children thorughout the service. We offer a nursery for children age 3 and under on these Sundays.

We believe communion is a special meal, where we receive Jesus' forgiveness as he gives us his body and blood with bread and wine.

We believe Christians who have faith in the words, "given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins" and desire the forgiveness Jesus offers in this meal are worthy and well prepared to receive this meal.  

If you'd like to read more about what the Bible says about communion, look up Matthew 26:17-30; Mark 14:12-26; Luke 22:7-30; and 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.

We study the Bible to get to know God more and be shaped by him. Each person in the room is at a different place and knowledge level. We know that we are in this together and that none of us knows it all.
