Livestream and Recordings

The video above will display the livestream or a recording of the most recent livestream. To watch a sermon or reflection from a service that has already taken place, visit the sermons archive. (When you no longer need this page, be sure to close it. Otherwise you will hear the service playing in the window below.)

The livestream flows directly from the 9 a.m. service to the Sunday Forum; while people are leaving the church and gathering in the Fellowship Hall, you will likely hear background noise until folks settle in at approximately 10:10 a.m.

A REMINDER: When you are watching this livestream, make sure other pages on our website are closed. If you have more than one livestream page open, you’ll hear audio from both.
