Our Sunday services normally start at 10:30am
Our worship is in the Reformed tradition, with emphasis upon the reading of the Bible and the preaching of the Gospel. Members of the congregation read from the Bible and lead prayers, as we seek to include within worship the needs and gifts of all God’s people. We also sing hymns and include prayers from a variety of traditions, seeking to embrace new approaches.
