At the heart of our common life together is a practice that has marked Christian communities for more than 2,000 years: the worship of God. Every week the Holy Spirit gathers us together, we receive the gift of God’s Word, we respond to that Word, and then we are sent out bearing the Word to the world around us. Though we add plenty of our own flair, it is this ancient discipline that regularly helps us bind our life more closely to the life of God and God’s Kingdom.

Because we seek to honor the breadth and depth of our diverse congregation, it can be hard to pin down our worship “style.” We do sing from hymnals accompanied by the organ and piano, but you’ll find music from a wide variety of eras and styles in those pages (and even more variety from our choir and other special musicians). We follow many of the ancient and vital patterns of the church, including a special calendar and decorating scheme, but we freely adapt many of those practices to suit our particular context. More than anything, we are united by our conviction that worship continually orients us to God and helps us live faithfully on this earth.
