New FUMC Worship Service
“The Nine” will provide a rich, thoughtful, contemporary worship experience centered around Christ’s unconditional love. While it will be contemporary in style, it will also fit the very best of our congregation’s values and vision. A contemporary service allows us to connect with a wider demographic, which in turn helps more people connect with Christ in a meaningful way. While people currently involved in our congregation are of course welcome to participate, this service is designed to share the Good News in a meaningful way with people who are not currently connected to our congregation. If you know someone who is searching for a church home or is not connected at FUMC already, encourage them to visit in the upcoming weeks at 9am in the youth center.
We also need people to assist with the worship team (VOCALISTS & INSTRUMENTALISTS)
Contact us at the church office (251-867-8051) if you are interested in assisting!
