At Saxe Gotha, our weekend services are an opportunity to worship our Lord and for you to fellowship with other believers in both traditional and contemporary settings. Our services include a message, reading of God’s word and worship through music and prayer. We offer childcare during our Sunday morning services. The contemporary service is a more casual service in which a blend of hymns, Psalms and spiritual songs are led by a full worship team, while the traditional service is a little more formal with a choir, piano and organ. A variety of Sunday School Classes are offered for all ages, as well as evening and weekday programming and small groups.
Each week, we have 3 services: the 8:30 and 11:00 am Traditional Services in the Sanctuary and the 10:45 am AWE Contemporary Service in the Light House Auditorium.
We livestream our 8:30 am Traditional Service and our 10:45 am AWE Contemporary Service. If you prefer to view the Traditional Service at 11:00, you can re-play the 8:30 service at that time or any other time. To view the Saxe Gotha Services and other resources, please go to: https://www.youtube.com/user/SaxeGothaPres. We would love to chat with you online during the services. Please turn on the YouTube chat function if you would like to comment.
