Worship Jam 2025 – Signup

At the 11am Easter worship service, we love to fill the stage with all our worship team members, family members, and anyone who loves to sing or play an instrument! Kids included!

Practice for the 2025 Easter Worship Jam is Monday, April 14 at 6:30pm in the Worship Center.

The Worship Jams are a safe place to play your instrument or sing without the worry of being plugged into the system. A great place to also get to know our worship team members, what its like to be on a team, and a starting point to joining a team.

You Belong – a membership class


You Belong: An Orientation to God’s Family at Cedar Hills

We make deeper connections with God and each other when we belong. In “You Belong” you will also discover how God heals brokenness and restores all he created through a community of people who love one another. Together we will grow hospitality, authenticity, forgiveness, and restoration that transforms us and our neighbors!

You Belong is a six week class that meets on Sundays at 9:45am beginning March 30. (We will not meet on Easter Sunday).  Anyone is welcome to attend even if they do not wish to become members.

At the end of the class, students can choose to pursue membership.  Following the class, you will meet with an elder to affirm your faith in Jesus, and then we publicly receive into a membership at a worship service (date TBD).
