Come Worship With Us

Join us for a welcoming and inclusive worship experience for all. We celebrate diversity and invite everyone to come together in a spirit of love and acceptance—just as you are.

This week we begin the Journey of Advent with fresh eyes as we rediscover the story of Jesus' birth through the eyes of a child. We explore what it means to wake up to God’s presence — the kind of hopeful seeing that comes when we look with curiosity and courage. Through scripture, music, candle-lighting, and a child-lens reflection, we open the season with the Candle of Hope and the invitation to see dawn breaking all around us.
