Worship

Worship is the heartbeat of our community—a sacred time where we are renwed by God's grace and empowered to follow Jesus into the world. We invite you to gather with us around Jesus, his Word, and his physical signs of grace for us and the whole world.

Join us - Sundays at 10:30 AM

Timeless Simplicity
Our worship is rooted in the ancient rhythms of the Christian Church, often called "liturgical worship". At Messiah, we don't believe liturgical worship means it has to be formal or rigid. For us, it means we value the age-old prayers and forms of worship that have sustained the faith of our ancestors for 2,000 years and that allows us to focus on the simple encounter of God in community, scripture, and sacrament. Without the flashiness of elaborate productions, our services focus on the humble yet profound act of coming together as a community of faith.   Not familiar with this form of worship? Don’t worry—our Order of Service will guide you step by step.

Engaging Faith and Mind
At Messiah, we believe that faith is a journey of continuous questioning and growth. Our worship includes thoughtful preaching, deep engagement with scripture, and moments of quiet reflection. We encourage you to bring your questions, doubts, and hopes into this sacred space, knowing that here, your voice matters.

Come as You Are
Simply being together in worship is more important to us than what people wear, where they are in the faith journey, or whether they act and talk a certain way. Bring all of yourself to worship, and come as you are. We won't ask you to check your brain or your doubts at the door. Whether you’re a lifelong Christian or exploring your faith, we’d love to worship with you. We believe that worship is for everyone. As a Reconciling in Christ congregation, we recognize that many have been harmed and excluded by churches in the past, and we know going to church might feel unsafe or scary. At Messiah, we welcome, include, and protect our LGBTQ+ siblings as well as anyone else who has historically been excluded from the Church.
