What can I expect when I visit?

We encourage you to visit our Welcome Center, located to the right just inside our main entrance (The entrance accessible from the main parking lot). Attendees of our services dress anywhere from suit and tie to cargo shorts and flip flops. Come in whichever way helps you to praise God the best!

Our services begin with a few worship songs, with the lyrics displayed on screens. The songs are mainly more modern worship songs, but we do sing hymns as well. Those are followed by offering and a sermon which usually lasts about 25 minutes. The service then closes with a few more worship songs.
