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).
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.
Junior church is available during the latter part of the service for those in JK – Gr. 6. We are using the Jesus Storybook Bible curriculum.
Adult Sunday School: from 9:30 – 10:15 a.m. Pastor Oates is leading a study of the book of Hebrews.
Breakfast Sundays are held the last Sunday of each month, Sept. – Nov., & Jan. – Apr., and June, at 9 a.m. (In May, the last Sunday is Anniversary Sunday, and we do a lunch, instead.) The format is “pot blessing”, but come along anyway! There is always lots!

Missions
Beyond our doors is a world that needs the love and assurance that God’s loves applies equally to them. 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.
