Morning Schedule

Our Sunday morning in-person worship starts at 9:30 a.m. and we also continue to livestream our services on Facebook. We enjoy a mix of both traditional and contemporary music.

Services are also uploaded to this website for viewing at your convenience. Just click on the "Recorded Services" button above.

If you would like to attend our service on Sunday morning, please be aware of the following:

  • You can enter by either the front door (on Harpersville) or the Welcome Center / handicapped entrance around back.
  • Because we are a "Safe Sanctuaries" church, about five minutes after the service has started, we lock all doors except the front for the duration of the service. If you're running late, please be sure to use the front entrance!
  • Masks are voluntary, but if you are feeling ill or under the weather, we kindly request you please wear one.  We have masks available at the podium by the front door.


Children's Church

Our Children's Church is an opportunity for children to celebrate their love for the Lord. It is a worship experience focused totally on children to help them build a better understanding of the Bible. Children start in the regular Sunday worship service, then gather at a designated point to leave the sanctuary with our children's minister to participate in their own, specialized set of activities. The children may re-enter the sanctuary near the end of the service; for example, to take Communion.

We also have other children's activities for special events, holidays, and annual services.


Nursery

Our nursery is located in the Children's Wing and provides a caring and nurturing environment for newborns through age three. Our caregivers are loving individuals who will ensure your child is well cared for and loved while you participate in other church activities. As a safe sanctuary church, we always have at least two caregivers present, and we issue a token during drop off that must then be presented when returning to retrieve your child. We encourage you to take advantage of this offering.
