Atmosphere

From the moment you pull in, our goal is simple: help you feel at home. You’ll be greeted by a friendly welcome team who can answer questions, show you where to go, and help you get settled.

If it’s your first time, we’ve got a free gift for you—just our way of saying thanks for being here.

Before service, stop by our newly remodeled Welcome Center for a free cup of coffee. It’s a relaxed space where you can sit, meet people, and ease into your morning.

What should I wear?

Short answer: whatever you’re comfortable in.

You’ll see everything from jeans and sneakers to dresses and suits. No one’s sizing you up here. We care more about you being here than what you’re wearing.

Come as you are—we mean that.

How long are the services?

• Sunday: 10:30 AM – around 12:00 PM

• Wednesday: 7:00 PM – around 8:00 PM

Sunday starts with about 25–35 minutes of worship, followed by a message.

If it’s your first time, we recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early so you can grab coffee, check in kids, and find a seat without feeling rushed.

Worship

Our worship is energetic, heartfelt, and centered on Jesus.

You’ll hear a mix of styles—modern worship, gospel, and even the occasional hymn. Some people raise their hands, some sing quietly, some just take it all in.

There’s no pressure here—you can engage however you feel comfortable.

Preaching

Pastor Rick Doran brings messages that are both biblical and practical.

You can expect teaching that helps you understand God’s Word and apply it to real life—whether you’ve been in church for years or this is all new to you.

No fluff—just truth, encouragement, and next steps you can actually take.

Children

We’ve created a safe, fun, and engaging environment just for your kids.

• Nursery is available at every service

• Secure check-in for peace of mind

• Age-appropriate teaching and activities

Your kids won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for and taught in a way they understand.

We also host events throughout the year like Kids Camp, VBS, Gym Jam, Easter celebrations, and more.

If you’re a parent…
We know dropping your student off somewhere new can feel like a big step. Our team is committed to creating a safe, positive, and encouraging space where your student is known, valued, and growing.

If you’re a student…
You don’t have to have it all figured out to show up. Just come as you are—you’ll find people your age, leaders who care, and a place where you belong.
