What To Expect

At Mt Vernon Christian Church, we have a laid back atmosphere. Come as you are: dress casual, nobody wears suits... not even the pastor! Worship services last a little over an hour, and our music style is contemporary with some hymns.

Child Care

Being a church for all ages with many young families, we think church should be fun and place special emphasis on teaching our children the Word of God. Praise Park, our Children's Church is offered for ages infant through grade 6.
We also believe safety is a priority: we start check in at 9:30 AM, and all areas are sanitized weekly.
