Ongoing Events

Our adult music ministries include our Chancel Choir and Adult Chimes. Both groups meet on Wednesday evenings throughout the school year. We enjoy both current and traditional music. The choir sings on the first, third and fifth Sundays of each month, while Adult Chimes play the fourth Sunday. Both groups are open to anyone interested regardless of experience.

“Teach us to pray,” the disciples pleaded. The Prayer Group is an intercessory Prayer Group. We meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month at 6:00 pm. We are covenant members of the Upper Room Living Prayer Ministry. We pray for our church, our Pastor, our church family, our many ministries and our finances. We pray for the sick, the lonely, the bereaved. We love Jesus Christ. We depend upon God and we know that prayer makes a difference. The Prayer Group becomes a Prayer Chain when there is an immediate need for prayer
