The Children
Our nursery for newborn through age 4, and children's program for ages 5 to 12 are available during all of our Sunday morning services. You can expect a bright, clean facility for your children to enjoy. Childcare workers have undergone a background screening and child protection training. We use a secure check-in system for the safety of your children.
The Worship Service
The service lasts about 90 minutes and consists of prayer, Scripture reading, music, teaching, taking the Lord's Supper together, and announcements. Please feel free to wear whatever you're comfortable wearing in a casual social setting. You'll see everything from shorts and a t-shirt, to collared shirts and suit coats.
Bible Teaching
We believe the Bible is God’s inspired and inerrant Word and our pastors teach through passages of Scripture and show how it applies to everyday life. We generally go verse-by-verse explaining what the Bible says and what it means.
Music
You can expect a vibrant music service that will exalt Jesus Christ. We believe that music should lead to wholehearted, passionate worship of God. We sing a blend of contemporary and classic songs.
You don’t have to be a Christian to attend Community. We welcome people from all backgrounds and beliefs into our service. This includes the person searching for answers or the Christian looking to grow in their faith and opportunities to make new friends and serve for the glory of God.
We try to make everyone feel as welcomed as possible, and we want first time visitors to feel comfortable, not overwhelmed. No one is going to ask you to stand up and introduce yourself to everyone, although, those around you will probably say hello.
No, you’re not expected to give money and we won’t ask you to give. The Bible teaches that giving is an act of worship for Christians. Our regular attenders and members give either online or by placing their tithes and offerings in the box at the back of the sanctuary, but this isn’t something visitors do.
Grow Together
Bible Fellowship Groups
Ministries that help connect us together and with God.
We’re a group of men that get together to hang out and help each other become the best men, husbands, and dads we can be. We do this through the study and application of the Bible, encouraging one another on to good works and godliness, and developing strong friendships.
From 2022 through 2023, we surveyed the Bible including both Old and New Testaments. Since late 2023, we have dug deep in the Fundamentals of Faith. Please feel free to join us at any point along the way.
We meet Sunday mornings at 9:00 am in the main building, Men’s Bible Study classroom.
We’re a group of women who connect with one another through studying God’s Word, deep friendships, and seeking to glorify Jesus Christ in our roles as women, mothers, and wives in this community.
From 2022 through 2023, we surveyed the Bible including both Old and New Testaments. Since late 2023, we have dug deep in the Fundamentals of Faith. Please feel free to join us at any point along the way.
