Worship: Our worship service is a united celebration, blending old hymns with new songs and formal dress with casual clothes, using a contemporary band to help us focus on Jesus. Children's church (grade 4 and younger) and nursery are provided.
Sunday School: Consists of dynamic teaching sessions for all ages. Bible studies and topical studies show how to apply what you learn. Nursery available.
Sunday Evening Service: A time of deep study; we deal with the hard topics. Family Fun Nights the months of July and August.
Prayer: We take prayer seriously! We have a Prayer Service Wednesday evenings, an emergency telephone prayer chain, e-mail prayer chain, and a confidential prayer list. Our altar is always open during services for prayer.

Youth Ministries: Teens-on-target (grades 7- college) offers teens a small group environment in which to hammer out their beliefs and encourage one another. They meet Wednesday evenings from 6-8 pm.
Special events for teens include Acquire the Fire, Kingdom Bound, Houghton Gym nites, and church camp.
Children's Ministries: Children are a blessing from God. Besides Sunday School and Children's Church, there is a special message Pastor Rick prepares for them each worship service.
Special Events: Vacation Bible School, Harvest Festival, and Mission Sundays.
