Worship Services
Join us each Sunday for worship service to praise God, hear His word, and enjoy fellowship with His family. We offer a Contemporary and a Traditional service on Sunday mornings, both with Pastor Rusk's inspirational message as well as great music. There is also a service in Spanish at 1:30 pm.

Worship is a word for the process by which we come to perceive and declare the vastness, worthiness, and strength of God. John Ortberg explains worship this way: "Worship is not about filling God's unmet ego needs. God has made us so that when we experience something transcendentally great, we have a need to praise it.... We worship God not so much because he needs it, but because we do." In other words, worship is a recognition that God is "soooo big!" So why is it important to worship God?
- Without worship, we forget that we have a big God beside us and live in fear.
- Without worship, we forget God's calling and begin to live in a spirit of self reliance and stubborn independence.
- Without worship, we lose our sense of wonder and gratitue to God. We plod through life with blinders on, unaware of God's work in our lives.
- Our understanding of God grows as we reflect on what God has done and respond in worship.
So How BIG is Your God?
