We prioritize intergenerational and whole-church fellowship. We spend a lot of time together as a church body! This includes refreshments following each Sunday service, a monthly potluck, a monthly cookout during warmer months, plus several additional fellowship events throughout the year.

We also strongly encourage families to get to know each other through ordinary hospitality and fellowship in each others’ homes.

While we prioritize worship on the Lord’s Day and the evening catechism (teaching) service as the main avenues of church-wide education, we also have age-appropriate catechism classes, a men’s and a women’s Bible study, and a men’s and a women’s theology class during the school year. We also encourage and provide resources for family worship and the catechesis (teaching) of children at home during the week.

Members contribute to our worship and life together through volunteer service on the Lord’s Day, helping with things like Refreshments, Nursery, Ushering, Communion Prep, and more. We have a twice-yearly congregational work day where we come together to help with tasks at the church building and at members’ homes. More broadly, much of our life of service as the body of Christ is in the hospitality and fellowship we show to each other as we live life together. Fellowship is not just about building friendships but about showing sacrificial love to those we are bound to in Christ.

Because of our devotion to an intergenerational and whole-church life together, we have very few programs or classes that are only for children. Rather, the children fellowship with each other and are incorporated in the larger body through all the ordinary activities of the church. We do have age-specific catechism classes during the school year, and our high school youth attend the Reformed Youth Services (RYS) national convention each year.

Here are some other examples of ways that our children connect with each other in our congregation: serving food and cleaning up at various whole-church fellowship events; eating meals with each other during monthly potlucks and cookouts; attending whole-church fellowship events, which often center on kid-friendly activities; contributing auction items for our annual RYS fundraiser; helping with yard work, window washing, and other tasks during our congregational work days.
