What to expect on Sunday Morning
Worship With Us!We worship online and in-person. You are welcome to join us Sundays at 9:30am here at church or via Zoom!
Welcome!
Join us for worship, the heart of our life together at Faith Mennonite Church.
Our worship is characterized by:
- Four-part singing, sometimes a capella, sometimes accompanied by a variety of acoustic instruments, piano or organ. We are blessed with many gifted musicians and folks who love to sing.
- A time for children. We have a large group of young children and welcome them in our worship. (We also provide nursery care for children up to age 5.)
- Preaching that helps connect the stories of our lives with the story of God’s work in the world.
- A sharing and prayer time that welcomes thanksgivings and petitions from the community.
- Our worship is followed by fellowship time when we greet one another and welcome visitors into our community. We also have classes and discussion groups for adults during our Christian Education hour, following worship, to which visitors are welcome.
