WHAT IS WORSHIP?
Worship is a time to experience and respond to God. We embrace the fact that people connect to God through all kinds of ways and are united by our desire to have our lives changed inside and out.
WAYS TO WORSHIP
TRADITIONAL WORSHIP SERVICE
SUNDAYS, 9:00 AM | 604 MARKET ST
WHAT TO EXPECT: Root yourself in the tradition of worship with elements like music, prayer, a Biblically-based sermon, and giving. The organ and choir will lead worship with hymns. You can dress casually or wear your Sunday best; simply come as you are.
There will be light refreshments (coffee and snacks) in the Coffee Bar next to the Lounge for you to enjoy prior to the service. We ask that you keep those refreshments in the Coffee Bar area to help us keep our Sanctuary clean.
One of our staff members typically kicks off our service with a greeting and ask to fill out the Connection Card at the start to get to know you better, and give you the chance to share prayer requests or inquire for more information.
COMMUNION: Typically on the second Sunday of the month, we partake in the sacrament of Holy Communion. One of our pastors leads this time during the service, and blesses the holy meal, made up of bread and grape juice. We believe that everyone, regardless of age or affiliation, can and should participate, so long as they wish to receive the grace of Jesus Christ. Gluten-free elements of Communion are available as well.
CHILDREN & YOUTH: Children of all ages are always welcome to worship with their family in the Sanctuary, but we want to make you aware of ways we can care for your child:
- NURSERY: The Nursery will be available for parents who have kids birth – three years who wish to utilize this service. Parents, please drop off your child at the Nursery room before the service, and pick them up once the service has concluded.
- SPARKZONE: While you worship, let your child learn about Jesus and play freely under volunteer supervision. Before the service, we ask that you sign in your child(ren) at the sparkzone table. Then, during the service, children three years of age through Grade 3 will exit at the dismissal announcement during the service. If they are Pre-K, they will go to Room 204. If they are older, they will go to Room 105. Parents, please pick up your child in the appropriate room once the service has concluded.
- IGNITE: Students (Grade 4 – 5) are invited to worship with their families.
- FUSE: Students (Grade 6 – 12) are invited to worship with their families.
LIVE-STREAM: If you are unable to be physically present, we invite you to tune into the online live-stream of this service. When you log in, there will be a chatbox to the right of the video. Write in your name in the chatbox so you can interact with other congregants. You’ll see an online host greeting folks and providing helpful links throughout the service for things like the connection card, upcoming events, and giving.
CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP SERVICE
SUNDAYS, 11:00 AM | 601 MARKET ST
WHAT TO EXPECT: Experience modern worship with elements like contemporary songs led by a worship band in our multi-purpose auditorium space. You can dress casually or wear your Sunday best; simply come as you are.
There will be light refreshments (coffee and snacks) at the Coffee Bar station and Kitchen windows toward the back corner of Stryker Hall. We ask that you keep those refreshments in the Coffee Bar area to help us keep our space clean.

SOCIAL HOUR
SUNDAYS, 10:00 AM | 604 MARKET ST
We know the importance of community, especially in a culture that revolves around being busy. That’s why we’ve created time just to connect. Go to Fellowship Hall after the Traditional Service or come early before the Contemporary Service to grab a refreshment, catch up with friends, or even meet someone new.
