Summer Schedule

As we prepare for Fall Kickoff in September, we will be pausing classes for preschool, elementary, youth and ECC classes during the month of August. Infants and Toddlers will continue to have class during the 8:30 hour only. This short break allows our teams and ministry leaders to rest, regroup, and refocus, while also providing space for intentional community gatherings. Full Sunday morning classes will resume on September 7.

In August, we have these exciting opportunities planned for different family worship and growth:

August 10 - Ministry Fair to find out more about opportunities for spiritual growth through being involved in classes, studies, and other ministries.
August 17 - Congregational Meeting regarding Senior Pastor Transition over the next year at 9:45am in the Fellowship Center.
August 24 - Missions Update - an opportunity to hear how God was at work on a few of our summer mission trips at 9:45am and Children's Ministry Volunteer Training at Noon.
August 31 - Family Services for Labor Day Weekend.

Celebration of Ministry of Missionary Leah Reizner

Join us in celebrating the amazing things that the Lord has done through Leah's Missionary work in Germany. We will be in the Fellowship Center from 3-5pm on Sunday, July 17.

Night of Worship and Prayer

God is so good to us and we want to be purposeful about coming to him as a church family in this season of change, from summer to fall and also as we begin the search for a new Senior Pastor. We will be having a night of worship and prayer on Sunday, August 17 at 6pm in the Youth Room.

Summer Mission Trip Recap

On Sunday, August 24 we will have a special middle hour (9:45am) presentation in the Worship Center to highlight our summer mission trips. Come to hear what the Lord did through our 2 SWAT teams that visited Dalas, Texas and Cincinatti, Ohio as they served the homeless population. Also hear the stories from our team that visited our ministry partners at The Village of Hope in Zambia.

Fall Kickoff Coming Soon!

Your child (Preschool3 - Sixth Grade) will have the opportunity to recite scripture, play games, and meet new friends. This is a great place for kids to grow in their faith - and an amazing opportunity to invite friends. AWANA meets on Wednesdays from 6:30-8pm, September through the first week in May.
