Wherever you are on life's journey you are welcome here.
Freedom to Open
June 1, 2025
Scripture: Ephesians 1:15-23 | Psalm 93 | Luke 24:44-53
Jesus prepares the disciples to be witnesses, to continue to preach the Gospel message, and to be his Body alive in the world by opening their understanding. We have the freedom to open our hearts and minds to receive what God will give – and that gift is the Holy Spirit Advocate.
Worship Opportunities
Summer Worship Service - 10AM
Each summer, we come together for one unified worship service at 10:00 am each Sunday, blending the best of our traditions with the warmth of our community. From vibrant congregational singing and inspiring liturgy to diverse musical offerings—including our band, vocalists, choir, organ, and piano—each week offers a rich and engaging worship experience.
Families are welcome, and on the first Sunday of each month, children and youth help lead worship, bringing their energy and insight to the service. We also celebrate Communion on these Sundays, joyfully extending Christ’s table to all.
Come as you are and join us for a summer of heartfelt worship, meaningful connection, and a shared journey of faith.

Join Us for Laughter and Lemonade
After our 10:00 am summer worship, stick around for a refreshing time of connection we’re calling Laughter and Lemonade!
More than just a chance to sip something cool and enjoy a treat, Laughter and Lemonade is about building community. It’s a space where joy is shared, friendships are deepened, and new connections are made—one conversation at a time.
As you enjoy a glass of lemonade and a light snack, we invite you to take the “3-Person Challenge”: greet someone you know, someone you don’t, and someone you’d like to know better. It’s a simple way to spread kindness and strengthen the bonds that make our church feel like home.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or you’ve been here for years, Laughter and Lemonade is a time to linger, laugh, and experience the warmth of fellowship.
We can’t wait to share this sweet summer moment with you!
