When you arrive
What to expect at our Sunday Gatherings
Our Sunday services are about 1 hour and 20 minutes long and are designed for your whole family to experience God, grow spiritually, and connect with others. Here are some things you can be excited to experience on a Sunday morning.
A community for you
Our gatherings are more than a program; they’re a place to build relationships with others who are also following Jesus and centering their lives on Him.
All are welcome to come and experience the presence of Jesus here!
Worship through music
We seek to create an environment where people are invited into the presence of the living God. Our desire is to be a community that allows the Holy Spirit to draw us into genuine worship as we respond to God’s grace.
Prayer & response
We make space for prayer, both corporate and individual, inviting you to respond personally to what God is doing in your life.
We have a prayer team ready to pray with you at the end of each service if you are needing prayer.
Biblical Teaching
We have a team of pastors who preach from God’s Word, the Bible, each week. We believe that the Bible is God’s Truth, given to us to learn how to love God and love others as we live and follow after Him. We not only seek to help people understand God’s Word but to live it in their everyday life.
Kids at the Bridge
There’s something for everyone! Our kid’s programs are available for all children ages infant-5th grade during all our Sunday gatherings. In Kidmin, your child will learn truth from the Bible, and how it relates to their life in an age-appropriate way.
The lessons are fun, approachable and taught by incredible volunteers and staff who serve Jesus by serving you and your kids, and are committed to your child’s safety.
