We join the Christian family through the Sacrament of Baptism.

The most important way to participate in the life of the church is to
worship on Sunday morning. Our services begin at 10 a.m. (except during
July, when we worship at South Church beginning at 9:30). Our style of
worship reflects the wide range of religious backgrounds represented in
our congregation. Like all Protestant churches, we place a high value on
evocative sermons, inspiring choral music, and robust hymn-singing, but
we also enrich our services with a variety of sung responses and moments
of silence. During the time for "Joys and Concerns" people share
information and request prayers for individuals and families of the
church as well as for those in the wider community and around the world.
On the first Sunday of each month, Holy Communion is served. To
accommodate those for whom alcohol is a problem, our church uses grape
juice for the sacrament instead of wine. We recognize that going to the coffee hour for the first time is a psychologically difficult and awkward thing for most visitors to do, especially if you don’t know anyone in the congregation already. Attending Second Hour programs is an easier way to meet others, since the program provides some comfortable structure and it doesn’t require standing in a room full of strangers.
