9:30 a.m. Classic Worship

Jesus blesses the ordinary saints among us because he was God's beatitude, God's unexpected blessing to the weak in a world that admires the strong. Today we will celebrate the blessings of God in our lives as we remember the saints who've gone before us and anticipate the time when we will join in communion with them at the heavenly banquet.


10:45 a.m. Discipleship Hour


11:45 a.m. Contemporary Worship

Common Ground is an inclusive contemporary worship experience encouraging all to take the next step in faith and justice in Bloomington and beyond.

All Common Ground activities take place on Sundays at 11:45, when we sing upbeat contemporary music, explore Scripture lessons, and hear a message that speaks to faith in action.

In a casual, relaxed, and welcoming environment, all Common Ground experiences will guide people to take the next steps in faith and justice, no matter where they are in their spiritual journey.
