Every Sunday morning, we worship at 10:30.
On Sunday mornings, worship is about God's good news of love and mercy, and our calling to serve God, to love our neighbors and ourselves. We have Sunday School for children and a a nursery for our little ones.

Not just on Sundays, but everyday... we seek to:
Do justice. Share kindness. Walk humbly together with God!
