UNITY – LIBERTY – CHARITY
What’s Coming Up…
Central Dinner Table
Wednesdays from 5:30pm to 7:00pm for six weeks from August 28th until October 3rd

Adults will stick around in the Cooper House Big Room for a video teaching/conversation from

Our Sunday morning service tends toward the traditional in style with modern elements woven in throughout. Our focus is singing, praying, reading and preaching the Word, and we always attempt to draw the entire congregation into the activity of worship. The sermons are expositional in nature and style, and we enjoy the wonderful fellowship of gathering together to worship the Lord, to learn what He has for us, and then to go out and live it within our community.
