About Our Facility

Our church facility includes a 740-seat Sanctuary that is home to a Casavant organ, a 50-seat chapel, a spacious Fellowship Hall, large kitchen, numerous classroom and conference spaces, and ample parking. In addition to supporting our own worship, education, and fellowship activities, the church welcomes non-profit organizations (civic, educational, and faith-oriented community groups) to utilize church space, as available, for concerts, recitals, and meetings of various sizes.
