Worship Style / Open Communion

We offer a traditional style of Reformed Christian worship with a full choir September through June, and biblical preaching that attempts to bring the guidance of the scriptures to our every day lives. 

 

Everyone is welcome to participate in all aspects of worship, including holy communion.  There are no membership requirements to partake of communion at First United Church.  All who trust in Jesus are welcome to the table. 

 

Parents are encouraged to guide their children when participating in communion so they may know of it's meaning and purpose.
