Saturday Worship: Saturdays at 4:00 pm
Joyous! Informal and relational. Think of worship around a campfire: fellowship-oriented with a hymn sing and a message.

What’s Happening
Arts, Beats, & Eats Worship Service
Labor Day weekend is here and that means that Arts, Beats, & Eats is back!
We will have one worship service this weekend, at 9:30 am on Sunday, at the Country/Americana stage at the corner of 6th St and Lafayette. All who attend this eclectic service are given free admittance to the festival!
If you want to attend the festival after worship, parking is available at Royal Oak High School and shuttle buses will bring you to and from the festival grounds. If you don’t feel like sticking around for the festival after worship, parking is available in the parking structure across the street from the stage. All cars have to be out of the parking structure by 11:00 am.
