Handicapped accessibility is by a ramp to the side door.

In June and July, informal Sunday evening services are held in Heritage Hall at 6:30 p.m.

TheSacrament of the Lord’s Supper is served weekly at the 8:30 a.m. service and bimonthly at the later service, and on Maundy Thursday and Christmas Eve. The Presbyterian Church (USA) invites all baptized Christians, including children, to share in the sacrament, recognizing that it “is not a right conferred on the worthy, but a privilege given to the undeserving who come in faith, repentance, and love." Gluten-free wafers are available on the communion table.
