NEW - Wellspring Ministries
Thursdays July 15 at 7:30pm
Planning on being away for the weekend?  Worship on Thursday nights at Wellspring – an informal, conversational style service of prayer and praise, learning and conversation.  Throughout the summer, whenever you’re going to be away for the weekend, or even if you’re not, think about trying out Wellspring, and invite someone new to come with you – someone who may not think church is for them.

Wellspring –

  • a place where your questions are heard and embraced
  • a place where your ideas and thoughts are an essential part of worship
  • a place where God is at work in new ways.
