Café Connect
We hope you’ll stay for a few minutes after worship to enjoy Fair Trade coffee and treats in Fellowship Hall. This is a great way to connect with others.
Families with Children
Children are welcome to attend worship with you. We also offer a safe nursery care environment for infants and children up to 3-years-old and Sunday School for school-age children during worship. It’s all up to you and what’s best for your family.
What to Wear
Wear whatever is comfortable for you. We believe God is more concerned about our hearts than our wardrobe. You'll find most folks in casual attire as well as some in more formal wear such as a sport coat or dress.
