The 10:30 a.m. service is also available online and recorded for YouTube. A Wednesday noon service of Holy Eucharist includes healing prayer. The church sits at 205 N.

Education and family programs include a Tuesday morning Bible study from 9 to 10 a.m., a Sunday adult forum and children's Sunday School from 9:15 to 10 a.m., and a staffed nursery from 9 a.m. to noon for newborns through age four. Children's Chapel takes place during the 10:30 a.m. service, and a junior high youth group meets monthly after that service. Fall study offerings have included a session on monastic wisdom. The church also has a music ministry with choirs, outreach through a community pantry, a day school, and fellowship ministries.
