Waffle Church

Waffle Church is a special service. Not just because waffles are served alongside fellowship, but because we believe this is a little bit like what the early church must have looked like. Sharing a meal, learning about Jesus, offering up prayer requests. In other words, being in community.

Join us at 9 a.m. every first and third Sunday of the month in Wagenhals Hall.

Come in and find a seat
Grab a name tag and a bulletin to follow along
After a prayer, grab a platter and fill it up with breakfast for your table

Crafts are offered for children throughout the event. All ages are welcome - from newborn all the way up to 85+!
