What to Expect
Our Sunday services are structured yet informal. While most of our members opt for business casual attire, it is not required; we welcome you as you are. Our Worship services follow the Book of Common Prayer, featuring scripture readings, a sermon, statements of faith, prayer, music, and the Holy Eucharist.
