Due to the pandemic, we’re alternating between online and drive-in worship, but all services are made available online here and on our Facebook page. Each week, we share in Communion, so to participate, have some bread and drink on hand. Services from the current sermon series may be found on this page, but all of our services going back to March 15, 2020 may be found on YouTube.
Playlist for all services: March 15, 2020 – present
