The Service:
Our services last about 90 minutes and typically consist of a greeting followed by worship in song, then announcements and a time of prayer,
before a short NextGen spotlight for the kids. Children are welcome to come up front if invited during this time, or they can choose to stay in their seat.
After this, the children head downstairs for Kids Church; while upstairs, we share in more worship in song and a message.
Our service typically concludes with more prayer and worship in song.
Communion usually takes place on the first Sunday of every month.

Elevate is a Junior Youth program we offer every other Sunday after the service for Grades 6-8.
