What Kind of Music Do You Have?
During our services we sing a mixture of traditional hymns and praise choruses, typically accompianed by a piano and guitar. We do have hymnals in the pew and refer to them when singing hymns, but the words to songs are also always put on screens for all to see and sing along with.

What Translation of the Bible Do You Use?
Our pastor generally uses the English Standard Version (ESV), but as a church we are not committed to a specific English translation of the Bible. Our pastor and church members will regularly refer to other various translations such as the Christian Standard Bible (CSB), the New American Standard Bible (NASB), and the King James Version (KJV).
