You may find our Sabbath School classes around campus at various times and locations. Many of these services begin at 10:30 a.m., falling between the two main church services.
Second Serve, 11:45 am – 12:45 p.m.*
Our Second Service service leads us to praise God through more classical forms of music. Gospel centered preaching is surrounded by a rich array of music including choir, orchestra, wind symphony, and smaller ensembles and soloists.*Summer Light begins the sabbath after graduation services and ends the sabbath prior to Jumpstart Week. During Summer light we condense our services to a 10 am Community Builder and 11:15 am Church Service.
