Upcoming events.
Join us for our December 21, 2025, morning service. We will be ministering on the connecting components associated with the birth of Christ.
Why attend?
Relevant teaching: Our sermon will unpack the biblical story of Christ’s birth, connecting its key components—prophecy fulfilled, humble beginnings, angelic proclamation, joyful response, and God’s dwelling with us—to everyday life. Expect clear, Scripture-rooted insight that helps you see how these truths shape faith, family, and community.
Warm, welcoming community: Whether you’re new to church or raised in it, you’ll find a friendly atmosphere where questions are respected and relationships matter. We gather as neighbors and friends, ready to support one another in faith.
Practical worship: Our worship blends thoughtful Scripture reading, reflective music, and prayer focused on the themes of expectation and fulfillment. Each element is designed to draw attention to God’s gift in Christ and to equip you for living that truth all week long.
Family-centered ministry: Children and youth are guided through age-appropriate lessons about the nativity components—hope, humility, and joy—so families can grow together in understanding and gratitude.
Opportunities for service: Learn how the birth of Christ calls us not just to celebrate but to serve. We’ll highlight practical ways you can participate in outreach and local ministries that bring Christ’s presence to those in need.
What you’ll leave with
Renewed hope grounded in Scripture.
Practical steps to live out humility and generosity.
A deeper sense of God’s presence in your daily life.

Holy Communion Services
Communion serves as a powerful memorial of Jesus' Last Supper with His disciples and His ultimate sacrifice on the cross. Jesus instructed His followers to partake in this practice "in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:19). The breaking of bread and sharing of wine symbolize His body and blood, reminding believers of the cost of salvation and God's love for humanity.
