To access a recording of a specific sermon, click on the title of that sermon and you will be redirected to a webpage with either the audio or video recording. A pdf copy of sermon notes (if provided) can be accessed by clicking on the "Sermon Notes" link under the title of each sermon. Sermons can be watched live on our Facebook page (Sundays 10am), which also has the live streams of worship services to view from the last month (sermons usually begin 35 to 40 minutes after the live stream starts. More info is listed at the bottom of this webpage. Update/July 2025 - Effective this year, Facebook now only leaves the live videos up for one month and then they are deleted. We are currently working on uploading the recordings of previous live streams to YouTube (another update will be posted about this by September 2025).
