Gather with us ...

Our Service of Worship begins at 10:30 a.m.  It is a traditional service, composed of four segments:  (1) The Church Gathers to Celebrate; (2) The Church Proclaims God's Word; (3) The Church Responds to God's Word; and (4) The Church Goes Out to Love and Serve.

We use the New International Version translation of the Bible.  Each Sunday lay readers read the scripture that establishes the biblical foundation for Pastor Beck's sermon.  In addition to worshipping our Lord and Savior through the reading of His Word, we use both The Hymnbook and the Presbyterian Hymnal to sing hymns of thanksgiving and praise to God.

We celebrate the Sacrament of The Lord's Supper six times throughout the year:  the First Sunday of the New Year, Maundy Thursday, Pentecost, World Communion Sunday, the First Sunday in Advent, and once during the summer months.

Nursery care for infants through kindergarten age children is available during our time of worship.  In addition, worship kits are provided for older children.  Kits contain activities that foster a greater knowledge of Jesus and can be completed as they begin to participate in worship.
We seek to accommodate those with disabilities.  We want you to be able to participate in all aspects of our church life.  Please contact us if the following do not fully address your concerns.

Designated parking is available along the church's upper driveway.  These spaces are closest to the south vestibule.  However, the south vestibule is not handicapped accessible.  One must enter the church building through the west vestibule, more commonly known as the "main vestibule."  This enters into the sanctuary.  Unfortunately, at this time, this is the only entry that accommodates wheelchairs.  

At this time, the west vestibule, more commonly known as the "main vestibule," is the only entry that accommodates wheelchairs.  This enters into the sanctuary.  As you enter the sanctuary, approximately midway on the left, you will find an area that accommodates wheelchairs and walkers.

Large Print bulletins are available each Sunday.  Simply request one from a greeter.

Telex Listening Systems are available for your use.  This system allows complete freedom of movement and is simple to operate.  The system consists of a base station transmitter (located in our sound cabinet) and thirteen personal receivers (available in the rear of the sanctuary).  Please feel free to use this system. The directions are on the box.

An assistive listening device (ALD) allows people who are hearing impaired to participate more fully in activities at which there are large gatherings.  The device does this by increasing the volume of a desired sound, such as the voice of the pastor and lay leaders and choral music.  This is done without increasing the loudness of background noises.
