Family Worship
A more contemporary and family friendly time of worship
Our Service
Our Family Worship Service has gotten off to a great beginning since July 7, 2024! Singing praise and worship music with our children, youth, and families is such a wonderful way to start a week. We tailor each service to flow similarly to the traditional services in our sanctuary. We also add extra tidbits of information about what the parts of our services mean. For example: we explain what the Call to Worship is and why we say one as part of our service. These explanations are given at several points in the service to help our youngest attendees understand why we do and say certain things each Sunday. We would love for you to join us on Sunday mornings at 9:45 in the youth room for Family Worship. Everyone is welcome!
