In addition to Sunday morning worship, the church offers labyrinth walks the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.; Bible Study every Thursday at 11 a.m.; service through Bread of Life and Habitat for Humanity; a monthly dance for middle school youth; and a nursery school. Choir groups are available for adults and children aged 4 and up. Parishoners routinely undertake outreach efforts and mission programs.
