Please Join us for Sunday

Worship |

This service is more contemporary. It often features requested favorite hymns
and more modern praise songs. Dress is casual as is the atmosphere. In warmer
months, services are held outside (bring your own lawn chair or use one of our
chairs), behind the fellowship hall at the foot of the cross. The opportunity to
worship outside among God's creatures allows us to hear a "creation chorus" of
birds and animals. The view across the valley is over 15 mi, across Northern
West Virginia and the Ohio River to Ohio.
