WHAT IS TRADITIONAL WORSHIP?

There's something special about worship in the sanctuary: the music of the choir, the warmth of the stained glass, the power of the pipe organ, the hymns you know by heart, and the quiet time we spend in prayer.  

We have been gathering in our sanctuary for more than a century for worship, learning, and celebrating the milestones of life together. You're welcome to be with us on Sunday mornings.
