To Our Live Stream Viewing Audience,
We sincerely apologize for the recent interruptions during our Sunday morning live-stream broadcasts.
While we are committed to providing consistent weekly services, our efforts are occasionally hindered by issues beyond our control—specifically, our internet service provider (Cox). Unfortunately, we’ve experienced several recent instances of reduced bandwidth, which have disrupted our live streams. We deeply regret any inconvenience this has caused and are actively exploring alternative options to ensure a more stable and reliable connection.
What to Do If the Livestream is Interrupted:
Missed Both Services?
You can always watch the archived version of the service on our church website’s media page. These are typically posted within a couple of hours after the live broadcast, using our backup recording.
Help Us Improve
We welcome your feedback—how are we doing, and how do you usually connect to our services? If you have ideas to improve our broadcasts or make them more accessible, please let us know:
Join the Production Team
We’re always looking for a few good people to join our production team! We've intentionally simplified our setup to make it accessible to non-professionals—though the “back row” might look intimidating at first glance, don’t worry, we provide full training.
Ideally, a full production team includes:
Let us know what role interests you—no multitasking required if that’s not your thing!
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support. We are grateful for your presence—whether in person or online.

What to Do If the Livestream is Interrupted:
- If you’re watching on our church website and experience an interruption, please wait a few minutes. We may be able to reestablish the connection.
- If you're watching on Facebook, unfortunately, the stream will be disconnected for the remainder of the service.
- If you are unable to reconnect during the 9:00 AM traditional service, we encourage you to try joining us for the 10:30 AM modern service—provided bandwidth has been restored. Pastor Brian shares the same sermon at both services.
