Meaningful worship
Sabbath mornings include Bible study (9:45 AM), worship with music and a Christ-centered message (~11:00 AM), and fellowship. Most gatherings last about 90 minutes.
Genuine connection
Stay for conversation, prayer, or an intro to a Koinonia Circle. There is never pressure to give — we're simply glad you came.
Good to know
What should I wear?
Come comfortable. You'll see everything from suits to jeans — we care that you're here, not what you wear.
Is there something for my kids?
Yes. Story Hour runs Saturday mornings (9:45–10:45 AM) for children, and we have Sabbath School classes for all ages during Bible study.
Why do you worship on Saturday?
As Seventh-day Adventists, we gather on the biblical Sabbath to rest, worship, and celebrate God's creation and redemption. You're welcome to ask our pastors more — no pressure.
Will I be asked to give?
Never on your first visit. Giving is a joyful response for those who call this church home.
How long is the service?
Plan for about 90 minutes total — Bible study, worship, and time to connect afterward.
Beliefs in brief
We are a Christ-centered, Bible-based church — part of the Seventh-day Adventist family. We believe in the love of Jesus, the hope of His return, and the call to serve our neighbors. Want to go deeper? Our pastors love good questions.
