Our Services

We hope you have an opportunity to visit us sometime soon. We know it can be intimidating to visit a church for the first time, so here is some information to help you know what to expect. If you have additional questions, just call us at 440-944-1026.

Each of our services has its own unique flavor so feel free to try several to see which is most comfortable for you. We have weekly services at the following times...

On Sunday evenings there are frequently special event planned...

We also gather together midweek for different classes and ministry opportunities...

What to expect

At each service, a worship team leads in singing and the words to the songs are projected on video screens. You are welcome to join in and sing with us or just observe. This time of singing is followed by announcements about key upcoming events. We then take an offering. The offering is for the church family so please if you are visiting, just pass the offering plate. The message, about 30 minutes long, concludes the worship service with a focus on equipping you for the week ahead.

Now we know a picture is worth a thousand words, so we have created a virtual tour of our building to help make visiting us a little less intimidating.

Sunday 6:00 pm

Frequently, special events occur on Sunday evenings in either the Worship Center or Activity Center and sometimes both. For example, the Adult Choir may present a full blown musical or the Upward Basketball teams will have their award's ceremony. You can always check the bulletin to see what is scheduled for a particular Sunday night as well as the Calendar page here on this website.

Wednesday 7:00 pm

Wednesday night is the time we gather together to learn how to put our faith in action - how to live out the Lord's command (and our mission) that we love Him and others unconditionally. There is no service on Wednesday night instead a variety of classes are offered. These range from serious Bible studies to adult choir practice. You'll find most people dressed casually although some may have come right from work and will be dressed accordingly.

Concurrently with the Saturday PM and Sunday AM service times, we have classes going on throughout the building that you are welcome to join.

The links below will help you get an idea of the classes available for your children and/or teens.
