With Christ's help we will
Each Sunday before worship we have adult and youth Sunday School, beginning at 9:30 am.
Our Worship service begins at 10:30 am and is a combination of traditional and contemporary music, prayer, and quarterly communion. Message by Pastor Nate Fugate. We provide children's programs before and during the service along with a nursery or quiet room or newborns and toddlers. Our sermons are focused on the real world application of Biblical teachings and each month are centered around a specific verse(s) of the Bible.
All ages attend our service, ranging from newborns to the elderly. We provide bulletins for announcements and service order with special inserts for our younger attendees. We believe that the Holy Spirit is working in so many ways in all ages of people in our congregation and we encourage anyone who desires to grow in their relationship with Christ to join us for services.
During the Advent and Lent seasons, we provide services ecumenically with other churches in the community during church holiday seasons. See our calendar for dates and times!
We would love to have you come to a service and see if SCC is a good fit for you!
