About Weekend WorshipKnox WorshipKnox Offers two distinct worship services on Sunday mornings and one service Saturday evening. Though the styles of worship are different, the message for the week in each service is the same.

  • Sunday 9:30 am Contemporary Service - Family Life Center

    This service offers music from some of the most recent Christian contemporary praise and worship songs. The informal setting of the Family Life Center allows people of all ages the opportunity to be part of high energy worship.

  • Sunday 11:00 am Traditional Service - Knox Sanctuary

    This service is highlighted by our 32 member choir that lifts our hearts toward God through a variety of selected music. Your favorite hymns and praise choruses are accompanied by piano, organ and other orchestra instruments.

  • Saturday 6:30 pm Contemporary Service - Knox Sanctuary

    A service centered around sharing what God has done in our lives as well as seeking His face in worship. The preaching is more of an open dialog. This format allows for addressing the needs of the attendees in ways such as special prayer, healing and sharing our testimony as the Spirit leads.

Brothers of Faith (Sat Morning)Ministries for AdultsRemember to join us on Saturday mornings (anytime between 8 and noon) for our service group. We have plenty of small fix up and clean up jobs around the building just waiting for your creative hands to lend a hand.

Knox BLAST Sunday SchoolMinistries for Children

Knox BLAST is our Sunday School program. In recent years, we have used curriculum from The Workshop Zone. (Cook Ministries). Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to obtain the curriculum this year. Parents, teachers and students have loved this curriculum. We are praying that God will make it available in the coming years.

For 2007/2008, we will deviate from our rotational model of Sunday school.

We will tackle some tough issues with the kids this year. We will challenge them to compare everything they learn with the Word of God. We will spend weeks learning about the attributes of God. The children will learn about discerning what is scientific fact and what is theory (Study on Darwinism). We will also have a unit designed to test everything they have heard and learned against The Bible.



Schedule: Sundays 9:30AM - 10:30 AM
