Worship With Us
8:35 Contemporary
In our contemporary worship we sing current praise songs and worship is led by our praise band, featuring guitars, drums, keyboards, and other musical instruments.
11:00 Traditional
In our traditional worship we sing more of the familiar hymns and our worship is led by our pipe organ and choirs.
If you can't make it to worship on Sunday morning, join the service in progress at 11:30 am on AM 1350 KMAN, FM 93.3 in Manhattan, or FM 93.7 in Wamego. You can also listen online.
We believe this is a place where you will find worship that is Biblical, inspiring and relevant! We often use worship series to focus our attention on a specific theme or situation in life. We design our worship services to speak to the entire family.
We celebrate Holy Communion the first Sunday of every month at both worship services.
Creative Christian ‘funpacks’ for children are available at both Sanctuary entrances. Large print bulletins and hearing devices are also available. We offer childcare for 3 month olds through pre-school in our nursery during worship services.
Music
