First, don't worry about dress codes. Come as you are! Some people like to dress up, while others prefer to keep it casual. We care more about you than what you're wearing, so feel free to be comfortable. Our main goal is for you to feel welcome, regardless of your attire.

As for the service itself, we typically begin with a time of worship. We love to sing, and you're more than welcome to join in, even if you're just listening along.

They're dedicated to delivering the word of God in a way that is easy to understand, easy to apply, and inspiring. We also have a children's ministry and a youth group, so the kids and teens have their own activities and lessons during the service, depending on the age groups. We have a nursery for the younger ones, too. We know it can be a challenge to have the whole family involved, and we are working hard to ensure that we are ready to assist with that as soon as possible!

After the service, we encourage you to stick around and connect. We're a friendly bunch, and we love meeting new people. Grab a cup of coffee and chat with some of our members, ask questions, or just hang out. It's a great way to get to know the community and make new friends. We will have a visitor center or designated person to help you connect with others, ask questions about the church, or learn about our different ministries. Don't be shy; we want to get to know you!

We always try our best to have parking readily available and easy to access. Our welcome team will do its best to assist anyone, if needed. We know that it can be a challenge to visit any church, and we are working hard to make your visit with us as comfortable as possible.
