Traditional Service

The traditional service is the cornerstone of worship here at Brevard First.

Whether you are a long-time attendee or first-time visitor, all are welcomed in the name of our risen Lord!

We host two services at 8:30AM and 11:00AM that aim to meet you where you are in an authentic encounter with God.
