What Happens After You Send This
Visiting a church for the first time takes a little courage, and we don't want logistics to get in the way. When you fill out this form, Pastor Rich and our welcome team will know you're coming. We'll save you a seat, watch for you at the door, and someone will personally show you around, the sanctuary, the coffee, the kids area, so you're never left standing in the lobby wondering where to go.
On a typical Sunday we meet at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, and the service lasts about an hour and a half. Dress casually, most people do. Nursery care for birth–23 months is available at both services. Ages 2 through 5th grade go to a separate kids area where they'll hear the same Bible passage the adults hear, at their level. Your teens are welcome in the main service with you.
After you hit send, a real person from our church, not an automated reply, will follow up to answer any questions and confirm the details of your visit. We won't add you to a mailing list or show up at your house. We'll simply be ready for you, and we'll leave the rest to the Lord.

Kids Love Our Church!
Our kids ministry is a safe, welcoming environment where children are loved, protected, and taught the truth of God's Word. We prioritize security through check-in procedures, trained volunteers, and clear safety standards so parents can worship with confidence.
Our children's programs are led by caring, well-prepared women and men who are trained to teach the Bible faithfully while making learning fun, engaging, and age-appropriate.
You can feel confident bringing your kids. Nursery care for birth–23 months is available at both the 9 AM and 11 AM Sunday services. Ages 2 through 5th grade go to a separate kids area, secure, well-staffed, and taught the Bible at their level. Check-in is simple and opens 10 minutes before each service.
Please note: The kids area is offered at both the 9 AM and 11 AM services. Teens are welcome in the main service with you.
Community
Connect & Grow Together
Our discipleship groups are designed to help you grow deeper in God's Word and stronger in Christian community.
Meeting at the church and in homes, these groups focus on studying Scripture, applying it to daily life, and encouraging one another to live on mission.
With groups for men, women, families, couples, and young people, along with classes taught by our pastor and deacons, there is a place for everyone to connect, grow, and build lasting relationships.
