Worship is about more than an event that we attend. It’s not a place. It’s not a thing. It’s an attitude. In reality, worship is something that we should do at all times, in all places because it is a posture towards God and His glory. One thing we value is corporate worship. This is where we will join our voices together and worship our God. Our corporate worship experience is patterned after both a biblical and historical church model. Our worship is centered around the Eucharist, which we celebrate every week. We hope to see you at service soon!
