In the Worship Center, our casual contemporary worship services deliver the message of Jesus Christ in an engaging multi-media format, designed to reach people, no matter where they are in their relationship with Christ. The sermons connect the powerful teachings of Jesus to today’s world. Holy Communion offered every weekend in all contemporary services.

Worship during 9:29 a.m. and 11:01 a.m. Sunday services is led by eleven eleven, a full contemporary Christian band. Their music is a mixture of current praise and worship songs, as well as original compositions.

The Saturday 5:05 p.m. service is similar to the Sunday Worship Center services, but incorporates a more intimate and acoustic feel.
