Music has been at the heart of our church’s worship from the very beginning. Our handbell choir is considered by many to be a local treasure — one of the few remaining in the region. If you’re in the neighborhood, we’d love for you to join us on Sunday.

Music & Worship

From traditional hymns to contemporary praise, our music is centered on lifting up the name of Jesus. Musical styles vary weekly—and we want you to be part of it! We have space for choir members, bell ringers, band enthusiasts, and soloists of all levels. Share your talent and help us make a joyful noise!

Prayer & Care

Driven by compassion, our Deacons and our pastor provide practical help and spiritual encouragement to our neighbors and church family. Through intimate prayer, home visits and a dedicated network of support, we strive to be a source of hope and presence in every circumstance. Whether in times of challenge or celebration, know that you don’t have to walk alone.
