Sundays at Bluegrass

Life Groups 9:00am

Worship Celebration 10:30am

One of the best ways to check us out is to come to our Sunday worship service. Our worship service begins at 10:30am. What you can expect on Sundays is a casual environment where we encounter God through a number of creative and spiritual elements. Our Sunday services are arranged around series which allows us dig deep into particular topics and passages.

We desire to experience real growth in our faith. We were never called to a passive faith. We believe that we are all on a journey of faith that should always be bringing us closer to God.
