IT'S MY FIRST TIME

First of all, thanks for stopping by!

We are a diverse and Jesus-loving Seventh-day Adventist congregation. We don't have all of the answers, but we believe God has given us meaning, a message, and mission to our world.

Want to visit? You can join us in-person or online.

What To Expect

Our Sabbath gathering is in two parts:
Sabbath School (9:30-11:00) and Worship (11:00-12:00).

Our Sabbath School time is study time. Kids are welcome to join one of the several kids classes we have, while adults are invited to join our adult class.

Our Worship time is filled with prayer, singing, reading, stories, and, of course, a sermon at the end.

There is always some food and drinks in the Welcome Center all throughout the day.
