2. What is worship like?
   You’ll find a wide range of expression during the 70 minute worship service as we draw intentionally from the breadth of Christian traditions. While most of the music tends to come from current writers (Chris Tomlin, Jesus Culture, etc.) the musicians lead in songs coming from a more traditional background as well. Prayer is an important component of our worship as are the teaching’s that are centered in God’s Word. We celebrate monthly at the Lord’s Table. Find more HERE.
