Worship Opportunities & Special Events

Worship
Peace Be With You

Worship is central to a life of faith. For some, worship includes loud music and for others, it means silence. Some follow a set liturgy; others do not. At YHC, we recognize that individuals craft their praise to God in unique, particular ways. If you are interested in seeking, praying or worshiping, join us!
