what to expect

Traditional Worship

People worship God in the historic sanctuary that has stood at the corner of 3rd Avenue
and 2nd Street since 1880. The service includes traditional hymns, with some
familiar favorites, choirs, piano and pipe organ, a sermon with real life application and prayer.
Ushers and greeters are present to assist people. Printed bulletins, hymnals and Bibles
in the pew guide worshipers through the service. Despite the traditional setting,
coats, ties and "Sunday best" are not expected.

Contemporary Worship

People worship God in the Wilder Christian Life Center, a multi-purpose space used
for fellowship, recreation and worship. The Praise service is guided by a worship leader
and Praise Band featuring guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and vocalists. Music includes
the latest in Christian praise songs and some new arrangements of great old songs.
Words and images are projected on a big screen over the stage. Biblically based messages
with contemporary life application are presented each week.
The atmosphere is relaxed, so "come as you are."

Cross Roads Café

Come and enjoy a cup of coffee and some breakfast foods in the Cross Roads Café
before or after the Sunday school hour. This is a great place where people from all
of the worship services gather to mingle and fellowship.

Holy Communion

The sacrament of Holy Communion (Eucharist or Lord's Supper) is celebrated each
first Sunday of the month in all worship services. In the United Methodist tradition,
"all who love Christ, repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one another"
are invited to partake. Church membership is not required.

Childcare

Excellent childcare with capable, friendly staff is available for infants through
4-years-old during all worship services.

PraiseKids

Following "Lessons for Young Disciples", an object lesson time for kids during
the Praise and Worship service, kids K-2nd grade are dismissed for PraiseKids,
a worship experience designed especially for them.
