This gathering meets in the Chapel and enjoys worshiping with the hymns of the past, mostly from a
little hymn book called "Blessed Assurance", as well as our Methodist Hymnal.  The hymns are played
to a rather upbeat sound of a piano and led by a wonderful choir that also offers a musical special on
most Sundays.  You'll find this service simple and authentic, and the people overflowing with hospitality
and genuine friendliness.
Traditional Service - Sunday 8:15 am
This gathering meets in the Praise Center and is led by a full band with a big heart for worship.  You'll
hear a variety of praise songs along with some new arrangements to the old hymns.  This service is
open to the use of a wide variety of musical instruments, as well as the practice of the ancient-future
celebration arts as we're led appropriately.  Sometimes you'll see the worship dance team, or the flags,
a special dramatic sketch, a humorous home-made video clip, a two-minute testimony, or you'll hear
the shoffar.

We also invite and encourage the use of the Prayer Rail in the last part of the service, especially when
making those life-changing decisions, and the special ministry of prayer and healing.  We try to create
an atmosphere where the seeker is comfortable, and the believer is also free to worship without limit.  
You'll discover a people that are real, down-to-earth, hospitable, and genuine.  There are many
generations, a lot of families, and the regular flow of guests seem to feel comfortable checking this
service out.
Springs Praise Service - Sunday 9:30 am
This gathering meets in the Chapel and enjoys worshiping with a blend of hymns and choruses, mostly
from the Methodist Hymnal.  They are led by a pianist (or keyboard) and a Praise Choir that also offers
a musical offering every Sunday.  The tempo is a little more upbeat than the typical traditional service,
and there's an openness to use a variety of instruments, songs, and celebration of the arts.  This
service is attended by more of our seniors and a growing blend of the younger generations.
Wellsprings Blended Service - Sunday 11:00 am
This is a wonderful service of Praise and Worship at the level of kids from K through 5th grade.  They
meet in the Chapel at 9:30 (same as the Springs Praise Service) and are led by a very creative team of
adults and teens.  It's a very participatory service that creatively leads the children with drama,
celebration of the arts, multi-media, and fun themes.  They sing and grasp a practical biblical message
of God.  Immediately after their service, the children are led to the Education Building for Kingdom Kids
where you can pick them up.
Kids Korral - Sunday 9:30 am
What To Expect At Our Worship Services
The Kingdom Café is available in the Lobby of the Praise Center all morning on Sundays for
coffee and light refreshments.

Nursery is available in the Education Building for both Infants and Toddlers ages 0-3 during all
services.

You'll also discover that we encourage the use of paper name tags for everyone, as this often
makes it more natural and easier to build relationships.  Please know that we'll never put you
on the spot publicly, nor will we compel you to speak in public.

The message is essentially the same in each of the services, and the biblical text is taught or
preached most often in an expository (verse by verse, or passage by passage) style.  We try to
communicate visually as much as possible, using multimedia and the visual arts appropriately.
This is an experienced-based gathering of children that helps them gain a true understanding of faith
through a hands-on encounter with the Biblical Text.  The Education Building where they meet has
various rooms for children from Pre-K through 5th grade.  One biblical theme is taught for four weeks.  
It is a rotation based system where four groups of children divided by age, participate in one of four
hands-on experiences each week.  During the course of a four-week theme, the children usually
experience a wide variety of activities including story-telling, drama, puppetry, arts and crafts, cooking,
recreation, multi-media, science, and music.  The teachers repeat their specific lesson four times, each
time to a different group of children.  This utilizes the strengths and interests of each teacher.  Children
are signed in and out at the Kingdom Kids door in the Praise Center lobby.
Kingdom Kids - Sunday 11:00 am
The teens gather in the Education Building in their own distinct rooms.  One for 6th through 8th grade
and another for 9th through 12th grade.  They are both led by a couple of adults as they seek to teach
and engage the teens in some biblical discussion as it applies to events and milestones in their lives.
