Weekly Worship
Join us for our traditional worship service each Sunday at 10:00 AM. Our service includes beloved hymns led by our dedicated choir, communal prayer, and an inspiring sermon delivered by our pastor. On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate Holy Communion together as a congregation. Our worship experience offers a meaningful opportunity to connect with God and with one another.
Wednesday Bible Study
Join us for our engaging, weekly Bible study every Wednesday at 11:00 AM in the David Hill Room, conveniently located next to the sanctuary. Our friendly group is currently exploring the Gospel of Mark through thoughtful chapter-by-chapter discussions led by our Pastor. No prior biblical knowledge is required—beginners and seasoned students of scripture alike are warmly welcomed! Our diverse gathering includes people of all ages and backgrounds, creating a rich environment for spiritual growth and community connection. Simply bring your own Bible, or we’ll gladly provide one for you. Each session offers the perfect blend of scriptural exploration and meaningful conversation in a supportive setting. Whether you’re seeking deeper understanding of the Bible or simply curious about Mark’s Gospel, we’d love to have you join our weekly journey through scripture.
Scouting
Scouts BSA welcomes young men and young women in grades 6 through 12 to join in a journey of growth, service, and community. Meeting most Tuesdays at 7:00 PM, scouts participate in traditional Boy Scout activities that promote teamwork, leadership, and outdoor skills. Through camping trips, service projects, and merit badge opportunities, scouts build lifelong friendships and a deep sense of responsibility to their community. With a focus on character development and helping others, this ministry offers a positive and engaging space for youth to explore their potential and contribute to the world around them.
