Join us on Good Friday, April 3, as we remember Jesus' sacrifice together at 6:30 PM in sanctuary. All ages welcome.

Join us on Sunday for our Easter services at 9 or 10:45 AM or online. We'll worship and hear from Nate Powell, Lead Pastor, on how Easter is more than a "big" Sunday on the calendar of any Church. Easter is a reminder that life doesn't end and death has been defeated. Easter calls our attention to resurrection: of Jesus, of His people, and of our own lives. Celebrate new life, your transformation, and baptisms with us!

Sign Senior Journals Sundays, April 5 to 26. Stop by the tables in the lobby to write notes, prayers, affirmations, favorite memories, Scriptures, or words of encouragement in personalized journals for our graduating high school seniors.

Thank you to everyone who gave to Youth for Christ International during Lent! It's a new season for this annual giving project, and we are grateful for your gifts that will give young people everywhere the opportunity to know and follow Jesus.

If you would still like to contribute, you can give here and select Lent Conspiracy as the giving type. Thank you in advance for how these funds will be put to good use through Youth for Christ International!

Song & Story Night, Wednesday, April 15 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM in the sanctuary. Come enjoy an evening designed to refresh your heart and reconnect you with God and one another. Song & Story Night is a relaxed, meaningful gathering where our whole church family, kids, students, and adults, come together to worship, pray, and hear real stories of how Jesus is moving in people’s lives. As you listen, sing, and share in community, our hope is that you leave feeling encouraged, uplifted, spiritually renewed, and more aware of God’s presence at work around you. Also, we’ll have FREE Chick-fil-A nuggets and strips and homemade desserts waiting for everyone who comes. Come hungry, spiritually and literally, and experience a night that fills your soul and brings our church family closer together.
