Our Worship
Welcome to Haygood!
“How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
My soul longs, indeed it faints,
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
to the living God.” (Psalm 84:1-2).
We are so glad you are considering worshiping with us. At Haygood, worshiping God is our highest priority, and we would love for you to join us.

Hymns and Creeds
Children’s Messages
Choirs and Music Ensembles
Preaching and Prayer
We celebrate Holy Communion on the first Sunday of each month.
Our music ministry is rich and diverse, including a chancel choir, children’s choirs, handbells, and a men’s quartet.You are invited to listen, sing, and participate.
Liturgical Rhythm
Haygood is a liturgical church, which means we follow the Christian calendar of seasons Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. We follow the Revised Common Lectionary—a three-year cycle of scripture texts that guides our weekly worship and preaching.
How Are Children Incorporated?
At Haygood, children are always welcome in worship. We remember the words of Jesus: “Let the children come”(Matthew 19:14). Families may choose to keep their children with them throughout worship, or take advantage of age-appropriate options we provide.
Nursery: Loving care is available for infants through age 2.
Children’s Time: Fifteen minutes into each service, children are invited forward to meet with our pastor and children’s pastor for a special message designed just for them.
Children’s Church: After the lesson, children ages 3 through second grade are invited to Children’s Church in the gym. They enjoy an engaging, age-appropriate Bible lesson and fun activities with friends. Parents and guardians may pick up their children in the gym after worship. Third through fifth graders are offered a worship packet to help them engage.
Your child’s safety is our priority. All staff and volunteers are background-checked and trained under our Safe Sanctuary policy to protect children and volunteers. Nursery workers are also CPR and First Aid certified.
