The Worship Experience

We believe worship is at the heart and soul of the intimate love relationship between God our Creator and God's creation. Worship should be passionate and full of a holy desire. It is a passion that must be expressed with all our hearts, souls, and might. The Psalmist proclaims: I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation (Psalm 111:1) Therefore, we celebrate our faith through a variety of worship experiences that are Biblically based and Christ-centered. These experiences include dynamic, praise-filled, traditional and contemporary services. Each service is planned to have a distinctive focus and style.

 

The services are:

 

Saturday 5 p.m., Casual Worship -- A come-as-you-are, casual atmosphere worship experience. Contemporary and gospel music are part of this informal service.

 

Sunday 8:15 a.m., Traditional Service -- A warm and meditative service of gospel and traditional mns and anthems. Worship is led by our Jubilante Singers and the service is accompanied by organ. Communion is observed monthly.

 

9:30 a.m., Contemporary Service -- An upbeat worship experience led by our Celebration Singers, praise team and our 9:30 Jazz Combo.

 

11 a.m., Blended Service -- A dynamic, energized service utilizing blended styles of hymns, praise choruses and anthems. Worship is led by the Wesleyan Choir. Additional instrumental music is provided regularly by our orchestra and handbell choirs.
