Blended Style Service

Sundays at 9:30 am

Our Blended Worship Service embraces the best of both worlds, combining the rich history and symbolic traditions of United Methodism with fresh perspectives and vibrant musical expressions. Whether it’s through classic hymns with piano and organ or lively beats of the guitar, drums, and keyboard, our worship captures the depth and breadth of our faith journey. On any given Sunday, you might find us delving deep into our roots or exploring innovative ways of rethinking church. Join us as we come together in unity, bridging the past and present, to become the united body of Christ for today’s world.
