we tend to ride lightly on money here. we believe that people will give as an act of gratitude to God, and we avoid pressure tactics. offerings are received at each service, and this is the primary way we are supported. we are finding an increasing number of people giving by bank checks mailed monthly.

communion.jpg
we celebrate communion generally the first sunday of each month at each service. we practice open communion, meaning all those with a faith in Jesus are welcome at the table. chlldren are welcome to share in the communion at their parents discretion. we offer periodic classes for children to help them prepare to share in the lord's supper, and as part of this class they help the elders with preparation of the elements.

in 2005 we completed an addition to the church building, giving us more space for children's ministry and fellowship events. we generally worship with 100 people at each service, and the children breakout from the early service during the message time for small group time with children's ministry shepherds. all who work with children are involved in being mentored and have been background checked. our nursery is staffed by paid people with background checks and training in childcare.
