Sermons 

Sunday Worship.. 10:00 AM
Coffee/Fellowship.11:15 AM
Church Classes....11:30 AM

While we prefer to see you on Sunday in order to worship and enjoy fellowship with you in person, we understand that sometimes things get in the way of attendance. At other times you may have found a sermon particularly inspirational and want to hear it again.  

Please note we do setup links sometimes a month ahead. Sermons are recorded each Sunday and posted the same day or a short time later. Click on the date desired next to an arrow to hear the sermon that was offered during that worship service. If WebPlayer displays a little red triangle in the lower right corner with an exclamation point, it means the mp3 file is not there yet. Please try again.
