The scriptures and teaching are the same for both services; the format, atmosphere and music are what separate the two services. Contemporary Worship is led by our Worship Band; and you will find a relaxed and informal setting, with a band comprised of guitars, bass, drums, brass and of course vocals.  The band sings a variety of music -- from the latest Christian Radio hits to traditional hymns set to a new sound. The Classical Service features our organist on the largest pipe organ between Santa Barbara and the Bay Area, a 35 member Chancel Choir, and your favorite hymns from the Christian Tradition. The twist on this service is that we cover many eras in music – one week the choir might sing a piece from Handel, the next a traditional African American Spiritual, the next a brand new arrangement you have never heard before. It is also a surprise to see who the musicians are: a string quartet, a brass section, a powerful solo voice . . . you never know. In addition Classical Worship is often blessed by the voices of our Children’s Choir.  You may also be surprised by our Chancel Drama Team, who regularly bring a dramatic touch to understanding a particular scripture or theme.
