Services that make you think more deeply. Music that touches your soul and readings that are ancient or modern. We often have different services from week to week to meet the needs of various worship preferences.

We gather in worship to find meaning and live more deeply. Worship creates connections within, among, and beyond us, calling us to our better selves, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion.

From time to time, our worship incorporates holiday celebrations, multigenerational plays and pageants, longer musical performances, child dedications, and coming-of-age ceremonies. We offer childcare and learning programs for children and youth during the Sunday service.

We suggest that you attend at least three services so that you can better understand how we worship.
