Weekly Service Highlights and Sermons
Worship Times and Weekly Themes
Join us every Sunday at 9:30 AM for a time of worship and community, where we explore faith in practical, everyday ways. Each month, we focus on a unique theme—this month, our theme is “Walking in Faith”.
- Sunday Worship: Every Sunday at 9:30 AM
- This Month’s Theme: “Walking in Faith”
- Last Week’s Message: “Choosing Faith Over Fear,” where we explored embracing peace through trust in God.
Pastor Jane shared a meaningful reflection in her recent sermon, reminding us that “Faith is like a muscle—you strengthen it with each choice to trust.” This has deeply resonated with our community, especially during times of uncertainty.
