Services
The church currently has three services, all on Sunday. They consist of: a traditional, "early service" at 8:30 am every Sunday; a contemporary service at 9:40 am; and a traditional "late service" at 10:55 am.
The latter is the most visited. The church hosts a wide variety of services that are unique to a specific holiday or time in the church year. These includes a Christmas service, an Easter service, and services during the week preceding Easter. The church also hosts a variety of events that, while not necessarily services in that they lack a sermon, are well attended and feature a wide variety of music celebrating Christian customs or values.
The church hosts a "Tuesday Music" that is jazz music played in the sanctuary. While both of the traditional services are hosted in the sanctuary, the contemporary service is held in the Fellowship Hall. A contemporary service used to be held on Saturday nights; however this was ended, shortly before the establishment of the current contemporary service.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“I see this evident, that we willingly accord to piety only the services that flatter our passions.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
