The worship service is held each Sunday morning at 9:30 am with a pre- service concert that begins at 9:15. Guest soloists and groups as well as our own magnificent music director present these concerts. Visiting groups such as Monterey String Quartet, Heart Strings, VOCI, Dixieland Jazz, Smiles, Wildcoast Brass, Pacific Boychoir Academy may also take part in the service of worship. Various concerts are offered through the year including performances by the Carmel Bach Festival musicians. Worship services are designed to glorify God and encourage the worshipping congregation in the congregation. The sermons are delivered with thoughtfulness to the needs and issues of our day and our lives, globally and personally. The services usually are one hour and the congregation leaves feeling that they have met with each other and the Almighty has met with them.
