Worship & the Arts
We gather to celebrate God’s love
and remember our purpose.
Take a moment to check out one of our services.
Intergenerational, inclusive worship is central to who we are and what we do. We come in to be nurtured and challenged by God’s word so that we can go out to follow Christ in loving service. In our worship services, you’ll find prayers, songs, and Scripture readings that reflect our experience of God. We understand that God’s word might come not only through sermons, but also through art, and through our shared stories.

Intentionally Inclusive
We welcome everyone to bring the whole self into our worship service. We affirm the presence of God’s image in every person, offering Christ’s unconditional welcome, regardless of social, economic or marital status, race, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or previous religious affiliation.

Music
Our worship services are led by a dedicated team of singers, instrumentalists, and artists. When we worship together, we use each Sunday’s scripture as the foundation for what we create. It is our hope that worship music deepens our connection to one another and to musical traditions that are part of the world around us.
We welcome any musicians who might wish to offer their gifts. Our musical offerings include nearly every style - from classical to jazz, from traditional hymns to songs from the global church, from chants to contemporary Christian music.

Children and Worship
We strive to live into our baptismal promises to nurture children in their faith. In worship, that means we practice Christ’s radical welcome by making sure that our youngest worshippers are included in every aspect.
On First Sundays, we celebrate Communion and children remain in the sanctuary to worship with their families. Other Sundays, children though 5th grade are dismissed following the Time with Young Disciples. We welcome children as worship leaders, as part of the Welcome Team, and as praise leaders.
Worship Bags with coordinated materials and Praise Streamers are available in the lobby in the rainbow-colored Kids Space. We also have a soundproof room which overlooks the sanctuary for our littlest ones who might need a stretch or a wiggle with their parents.
