What to Expect

Our Sunday service runs about an hour and follows a traditional Methodist order of worship — but don’t let “traditional” fool you. Inside our historical sanctuary, you’ll find artists, activists, longtime Methodists, and first-time churchgoers all in the same pew.

A typical Sunday includes musical pieces and hymns throughout the service, a children’s message for our youngest members, a time of prayer, a scripture reading, and a sermon by our Interim Lead Pastor Rev. Mary Scifres that connects faith to the world we actually live in. We close with a benediction and postlude. The first Sunday of each month also includes Holy Communion, which is open to everyone — no membership or preparation required.

Children are warmly welcomed throughout the opening of the service. Following the children’s message, they are invited to join their own age-specific programming, led by our Director of Children and Youth Ministries.

After the service, we invite you to fellowship with others in the courtyard adjacent to the sanctuary for coffee and treats.
