“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” – Matthew 18:20
What a blessing it has been to worship both in-person and online this Summer, as we create worshiping communities in both spaces!
Worship continues both in-person and online this Sunday and beyond:
At Home: If you aren't able to come to church, or aren't yet comfortable doing so, know that the online option will always be available. We'll broadcast live on Facebook with a prelude beginning at 10:25 AM.
In-Person: If you are joining us in the Sanctuary, please review our safety guidelines and information below prior to Sunday morning. We are able to accommodate 50 worshipers in our Sanctuary, properly spaced per social distancing guidelines.
For the safety of our attendees and staff attendees, church leaders have developed the following guidelines:
-
Those with symptoms of illness (fevers, aches, cough, sneezing) and underlying health conditions that put them at risk are asked to stay home.
-
Masks are required at all times, except when seated during Worship.
-
Attendees are asked to observe social-distancing guidelines while onsite.
-
Available seats in the Sanctuary are marked, and groups that arrive together may sit together.
-
The first two rows are roped off to provide at least 30 feet of space between worshipers and worship leaders, who do not wear masks while leading worship.

SUNDAY WORSHIP - August 9, 2020
Each week, we come together and broadcast live for prayer, reflection and messages of hope for the world we are living in today. On Sunday, members of our community joined us on Facebook Live and in the Sanctuary as we continued our Summer Sermon Series exploring the Apostle Paul's definitions of love.
Jennifer's message, "Love Does Not Rejoice in Wrongdoing," begins at 28:00.
*Recordings are available immediately on Facebook, and by noon the next day (Monday) here on our site.
Welcome to Worship!
What to Expect
Worship is the heart of Community Church! It is an experience of the living God, through relevant messages that proclaim the Gospel, and is a time for connecting with God and other seekers. Enhanced by projected images and lyrics, blended music is led by a variety of instruments with contemporary-style worship leaders guiding us in singing God’s praise.
In early March, Worship went completely virtual. However, per the governor's phased reopening plan, we began worshiping together in small groups on May 31, 2020. You can also find us live on Facebook every Sunday at 10:30 AM, and all are welcome! If you miss a service or would like to re-watch any portion of it, complete recordings are posted by noon the next day here on our Worship page.
