Sundays

Morning Worship Service

During the school year, Sunday morning worship service begins at 10:30 a.m. and typically wraps up close to 11:30 pm (or shortly thereafter).  In the summer, beginning July 2/23, the Sunday morning worship service begins at 10 a.m.

Services consist of a time of music, reading from God’s Word, prayer, and worship followed by a sermon delivered by the Pastor.

NOTE: Sermons are available on our YouTube channel.  If our pastor is away, there will be no sermon on YouTube, and that will be reflected in the online calendar.  (Sermon titles and guest speakers are noted on the online calendar.)

Corporate worship is an important time where we can come together as God’s family and learn from His living Word and be encouraged by one another, in our walk with God. The Holy Bible is the authoritative source for all our spiritual learning and discernment.

Music is currently a hybrid of hymns and music accessed through YouTube.

Sunday School:  from 9:30 – 10:15 a.m.  Pastor Oates will lead a study of the book of Hebrews.

Breakfast Sundays are held the last Sunday of each month, Sept. – June, at 9 a.m.  The format is “pot blessing”, but come along anyway!  There is always lots!

Missions

The opportunities that God grants us to come alongside Him in His world and work is both rewarding and humbling. If you are aware of a need that you might suggest we consider supporting, our leadership team would be interested in hearing from you.
