Worship

At St. Giles, worship, highlighted by Jesus in Matthew 4:10, is central to our faith. Our Sunday service at 10:30 AM offers a warm welcome, engaged worship, practical sermons, and prayer. Newcomers can expect follow-ups and an invitation to meet the pastor. Worship extends beyond Sunday, it's a daily practice of gratitude, prayer, and humility.

Study

The word “disciple” means “learner” . . . and the center of learning for us is the Bible. As passionate as we are about worship, we're even more passionate about Scripture because we've seen its' effect in our own lives. We've got two primary vehicles of Study at St. Giles, Sunday School and Affinity Groups. Below is a list of our current Sunday School classes and affinity groups.

Serve

Jesus said, “I am among you as one who serves” (Luke 22:27). Serving is at the heart of Christian identity, finding purpose in life, and bringing honor to God. Our goal at St. Giles is to have everyone engaged in service and we've developed a process to help you find your gifts in ministry and those whom God has especially laid on your heart. Called “The MO Class”, it's a step by step discipleship tool to help you find your place in service alongside other believers.
