    • All children participating in our children's programming (babies through 5th grade and All Access) must check in using our check-in system. We will collect your phone number at check-in and use it to contact you if needed. Present your security tag when picking them up.

  • If God is working in your life, we would love to hear about it! During our worship services every Sunday morning, we have a time of response for people to respond to what God is doing in their life. You can take this time to pray quietly, kneel at the altar for prayer with others, or to talk with a pastor.

    We also highly recommend that you check out one of our LifeGroups on Sunday mornings at 9:45 AM. These are discipleship groups where we gather together to study God’s Word, care for one another, and serve both our church family and the world. In many ways, we consider these groups to be a core part of who we are as a church family. If you are interested in visiting one of these LifeGroups, you can contact Adam Whiteside who oversees our discipleship ministries.
