Sunday Worship
Every Sunday we gather as a church family for worship.
We lift our voices in praise, bring our prayers to God, hear His Word proclaimed, and receive from His table. After, we enjoy conversation over coffee and scones, with educational classes offered for learning and growth.
Our Sunday morning services, 9:00 a.m. & 11:15 a.m. are similar, yet distinct.
The liturgy is the same, inviting us to join our voices in prayer and response. The Scripture readings and preaching (about 15 minutes) are the same. Weekly Communion and the overall service length (75 minutes) are the same.
The musical selections are similar, but the musical leadership is different. 9:00 a.m. is more formal and music is led by choral groups, piano, and organ. 11:15 a.m. is less formal and music is led by a worship leader, guitar, and piano.
Children are always welcome in our worship.
We also have children’s programs on Sunday mornings. Children in 4th grade and above may serve as Acolytes during our Sunday service.
6th to 12th graders worship with our congregation. Youth Group meets Sunday nights.

Anglicanism is a good way to follow Jesus Christ. Here are a few characteristics:
Biblical: The Bible is God's word written. Our worship is guided by God's word. Our doctrines are based on God's word.
Historic: Our history runs through the Reformation, back to the earliest days of the church.
Liturgical: Anglican worship follows a liturgy from the Book of Common Prayer (2019), which is described as “scripture arranged for worship.” As conceived by Cranmer, the BCP was a guide to worship in a common language uniting “all the whole realm.” Today our liturgy accomplishes the same: Guiding us in worship and uniting us to one another.
Global: Anglicanism is a worldwide “communion” of Christians. With 85 million members, it is the third largest Christian communion behind Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Worshipers who do not share a common culture or language can still meaningfully participate in worship, thanks to our common liturgy.
Sacramental: Our worship is oriented around the sacraments (regular Holy Communion, occasional Baptism), with a normal Sunday service involving praise of God, prayer, hearing and responding to God’s word in scripture, and culminating in the Holy Communion.
