This decision comes from Session based on feedback from the 2022 Congregational Survey, which told us that the majority of worshipers prefer these new times.

The majority of young families prefer modern worship earlier in the morning.  Starting March 12th, we will have two identical programs for kids at 9:00 and 10:30am.

The majority of older people prefer classic worship later in the morning.

The majority of church-goers want to worship to begin between 9 and 10am. We are making this decision with that in mind.

Our church has 2 very meaningful, very different styles of worship, and that is rare for a church our size. Most churches only have one style of worship, so they can have that one service as many times as they need to on a Sunday morning. Our challenge is making the choice based on the majority of two different styles of worshipper (classic and modern).

Everyone wants to be connected to each other. The one resounding thing we heard from the survey is that you want to have relationship with the people who go to the other worship service. By moving services within a half hour of one another, it will give you a chance to mingle with each other over coffee on the patio and in the Lobby as you come and go.
