Frequently Asked Questions about our Easter Service

What should I expect?
Our service is about 65 minutes. It centers around singing to God and then preaching a life-applicable message from the Bible. The music is “contemporary,” meaning we have a band consisting of guitars, drums and a keyboard. We believe worship should be fun, exciting and sacred all at the same time.

What time should I get there?
Join us beginning at 9:30 AM for breakfast and coffee in the park. Our worship service will begin at 10 AM.

Do I have to dress up?
No. Most usually wear jeans and casual shirts or tops. You should feel at home here, no matter how you dress.

What about my kids?
Our kids and teens are attending the worship service with their families. We will have activity packets for young children to keep them entertained during the service.
