Wednesday Night Live
A New Midweek Tradition
Wednesday Night Worship
5:30-6:00pm Sanctuary
Life doesn’t always leave room for Sunday mornings -- work, travel, sports, or other commitments. That’s why we’re creating a new opportunity to gather as a church family in the middle of the week.
Join us each week for a joyful, intergenerational worship service where families can worship together. Children and youth will also take part through music, special moments from their Wednesday programs, making this a meaningful experience for all ages.
Whether Wednesday becomes your family’s primary worship service or simply another opportunity to reconnect with God and your church family, everyone is welcome. Families, couples, singles, young adults, retirees—this service is for anyone seeking a meaningful midweek pause.

What Makes American Religion "American?"
Oct 14, 21, & 28, 6:00-7:15pm, Pilgrim Hall. Led by Rev. Dr. Jonathan Redding, Associate Professor of Religion, Neb Wesleyan University
What makes American Religion “American”? No other country in the world does religion like the United States, which is both good and bad. Discover American Religion through a historical-intersectional lens, highlighting how the best things about religion in the USA can often be the worst. We will expand our lens beyond Christianity to examine various unique American religious movements while also studying how the history we’ve been taught about American religion can (and often does) differ radically from the reality.
