Palms Center as our Sanctuary is under renovation

Classic Presbyterian liturgy and structure
Choirs, organ, and timeless music
A more reflective and historic experience

These services follow a traditional Presbyterian liturgy, with a Prayer of Invocation and Prelude beginning a few minutes before the hour to allow for quiet reflection. The 9:00 am service is popular with families and includes a children’s moment, while the 11:00 am service offers a quieter experience. Attire is typically business casual, though all are welcome as they are. Music is rich and dynamic, featuring choirs, organ, piano, handbells, and guest musicians, often in collaboration with some of Sarasota’s most respected choral groups.

CONTEMPORARY

Sundays: 9:00 am

Campus Center

Modern music and creative elements
Casual, relaxed atmosphere
Interactive and engaging experience

This service has a warm, familial feeling to it, and every Sunday there’s a chance to experience God and connect with one another through shared prayers, laughter, art, and other creative expressions. Most people attending this service wear casual, comfortable clothing…jeans, shorts, tee-shirts etc. Come as you are.

The music is energetic and powerful, featuring several instruments and vocalists as well as a compelling worship leader.
