FAMILY OF FAITH
Worship is at the heart of our lives as Christians and is the center from which all other activities must flow. The beautiful worship space of Gilwood Church and the attention given to the liturgies and music of the Church, work together to provide rich soil for spiritual growth.
WORSHIP

COMMUNION CELEBRATED THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH
Sunday Mornings
Are For
EVERYONE.
Our worship service is a traditional service which includes hymns, prayers of thanksgiving and intercession, God’s Word, and sacrament. As Presbyterians, we honor our liturgical and musical traditions.
​
We practice open Communion on the first Sunday of each month, and we invite all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior to join us around the Lord’s table where we are forgiven of our sins and called to join in God’s new covenant of grace, and reconciliation.
