We Worship

Come as you are. We are liturgical, but not formal.

We provide a Nursery for children through age 4. Each service includes a special children's message, after which Children's Church activities are offered for children ages 3-Grade 6.Â

We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Baptism as the entrance rite through which we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and become members of the Body of Christ, the church on earth. Baptism may be by sprinkling water on the head or by immersion of the whole body. We practice both infant and adult baptism.

Adults are baptized on the basis of their own faith in Jesus Christ. They confess their faith publicly and renounce the forces of evil, sin and death.

Children are baptized, based on the faith of their parents or sponsors, who assume responsibility for instructing these children in the Christian faith as they grow up. Baptized children later affirm their own faith through an Affirmation of Baptism, or Rite of Confirmation, into adult membership in the church.

We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion on the first, third, fifth and Festival Sundays. We welcome to our Lord's Table all who believe that Jesus Christ is truly present in the bread and wine to bless, forgive and strengthen us in faith. Children who do not yet commune receive a blessing.
