Sunday

Gather | Worship | Learn | Grow

Each Sunday we gather for Worship at 10am in person and virtually via LIVE Stream, Facebook, or on our YouTube channel. Whether you consider yourself religious or not, we hope you will find this time of worship inspiring, complete with music, readings, reflections, and practices that help us all grow as individuals and as a community. Come as you are. You will find people dressed in shorts and people in suits and dresses. You will find Christians; you will also find Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, agnostics, and atheists gathered.

Through worship, we embody our mission in the following ways

In our worship services, persons of all races, genders, sexual orientations, ages, economic statuses, political affiliation, physical or mental capacity, or religious belief play an active role in co-creating an atmosphere of acceptance and love.

As a historic Baptist congregation, we honor the Baptist principles of freedom of conscience and religious freedom. In our worship, we embody this by providing people a variety of means through which to connect to the Divine as well as opportunities to connect with one's own spirit in new and deep ways. 

We believe that Jesus' teachings were centered on justice: for the marginalized, oppressed, rejected, and above all, the poor. Justice is consistently found in the elements of our worship to inspire our community to work for justice for all people inside and outside of the walls of the church.

We believe that gathering together with community is integral for mutual support and for our growth as individuals. During worship, we practice community by joining our voices in song and prayer, our hearts in reflection, and our whole selves in proximity with one another.

Guest Preacher | Rev. Dr. Marha Kearse
Sermon | Days of Miracle and Wonder 
Scripture | 1 Kings 17:8-24 | Acts 3:1-10 | Acts 8:26-40 | Acts 12:6-17
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Martha Kearse invites us to open our eyes to the unexpected ways God still moves among us. From jars that don’t run dry to chains that fall off in the night, Scripture reminds us that the miraculous is not just a thing of the past. 

March 1, 2026
Preaching | Rev. Dr. Layne Smith 
Sermon | "Jesus Works the Night Shift" 
Scripture | John 3:1-17 
Nicodemus is literally and figuratively in the “dark.” Jesus enters his life to turn the “light” on. Jesus not only works in the bright happiness of the day, he also works in the deep darkness that enters our lives at various times. 

March 8, 2026
Guest Preacher | Rev. Dr. Tim Moore 
Sermon | When Jesus Changed His Message
Scripture | John 4:5-42
Celebrating | The Third Sunday of Lent 
In back-to-back encounters, Jesus speaks to Nicodemus by night and a Samaritan woman by day. One, a religious leader. The other, a social outcast. To each, he offers not a formula—but a meeting that transforms. What does it mean that Jesus tailors his message? That he offers new language, fresh metaphors, and unexpected grace—especially to the ones on the margins?

March 15, 2026
Guest Preacher | Rev. Dr. Tim Moore 
Sermon | Knowing More, Know Less
Scripture | John 9:1-41
Celebrating | The Fourth Sunday of Lent 
A man receives sight, yet the truly blind remain unchanged. In John 9, Jesus reveals that spiritual blindness isn’t about eyes that don’t work—it’s about hearts closed to wonder, minds convinced they already know everything worth knowing. This week, Rev. Dr. Tim Moore invites us to wrestle with the paradox: the wiser we become, the more we see how much we don’t know. What kind of sight are we choosing?

March 22, 2026
Guest Preacher | Beth Maczka
Sermon | The Women of Holy Week
Scripture | TBA

March 29, 2026
Palm/Passion Sunday
Preaching | Rev. Dr. Layne Smith 
Sermon | "Who Is That Man?" 
Scripture | Matthew 21:1-11 
The crowd, that day, asked, “Who is that man?” That is a question all of us face. Our answer will be a huge influence on how we live (or don’t live) out our faith in the world.

April 5, 2026
Easter Sunday
Preaching | Rev. Dr. Layne Smith 
Sermon | "Easter Comes to a Good Friday World" 
Scripture | John 20:1-18 
We live in a Good Friday world. If Easter is to happen, it must come where we live. We can’t get to Easter until we live through the darkness of Good Friday. Only then, can resurrection truly happen.
