What to Expect At Sunday Worship

What are your services like?

We offer a live pianist who performs on a grand piano for every service.  Our pianist provides our congretation with gathering music as we start our service, a prelude, classic hymns, centering music, and a postlude during the service. Many times we have special musical performances by the Wesley Ringers, our choir and individual performances. We include contemporary music as a part of our service.

During the service we incorporate scripture readings, a relevant inspirational message, and time for sharing the joys and concerns of the congreation.

Are your worship services online or in-person?

We provide both opportunities to participate in our service! You can worship with us or on our Church Online Platform at 10am Pacific time. Online services are provided through YouTube. Should you have any questions please contact us through the our contact form. Someone will respond as quickly as possible. YOu can also view any service through our  Worship Video Page.

How long are your services?

Our service is usually about 1 hour. Immediately after the service we offer a Coffee Fellowship with coffee, drinks, and delectable treats!

what should I wear?

Some people dress up and others are more casual – please feel free to wear whatever is comfortable. We are just glad you are here.

How early should I arrive?

Feel free to come early or just before our service starts at 10am. Most of the congregation arrives between 10 to 15 minutes before the service.

Will I be greeted when I arrive?

Everyone who visits our church is greeted from the minute you enter the church, if not on the way to the church entrance. There are greeters at the entrance to greet you and answer any questions you may have. They will be happy to introduce you to other members of our church.

Is there a Sunday School for children?

We have a small, intimate group of school age children attending Sunday School at this time. We start with the children joining the adults in the Sanctuary at the start of our Service. The children are then asked to go to the Sunday School Class early in the Service and join the congregation after the Service concludes.

where can I park?

For those with mobility issues we offer a number of ADA parking spots on the parking lot off of South School Street, near the intersection of S. School Street and Walsh Street. Additional parking is available on S. School Street and S. Church Street. Many of our members park at one of the banks located near the Mill Street Walking Mall. It is a short and pleasant walk to our church.

where is the main church entrance?

The main entrance of the church is located near the main parking lot off of S. School Street. When parking on S. Church Street or walking up from downtown, the entrance is to the rear of the church.

is there time for fellowship?

Absolutely! We have a very active and friendly church congregation. Come early or stay and join us for our Coffee Fellowship after our service.
