Our Ministries
Opportunities for Spiritual Growth and Christian Service
Most of our in-person activities are on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, but keep an eye on our upcoming events for our virtual and drive-up events!
This page includes a selection of our usual ministries. We can't wait to see everyone in person again!

Instrumentalists: guitar, flute, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, piano, organ, etc.
Children sing as part of Children’s Church each Sunday during Worship
