We Invite You to Join Us for Evening Prayer

Join our staff for Evening Prayer every night at 9pm, online via Livestream and Facebook Live.

Kids' Choice Connection Groups Have Resumed

Join us this summer in kids' connection groups as we shake things up a bit! Kids (incoming 1st-6th grades) will have the opportunity to choose their class. Connection groups will be based on activity not age. There will be options like Legos, gaga ball, science, board games, cooking, crafts, and a whole lot of fun with space to experience and grow with God. Pre-k and kindergarteners will join in on the fun in their own classroom!

Adults and youth, we need your help! Have a special skill you’d be willing to share with our kids? We would love to have you host a class! Willing to help out and get to know some awesome kids? We need you! We offer the summer off to our AWESOME connection group leaders so they have a chance to recharge. If you are willing to help lead a session or be an assistant, click here. All lessons and supplies are provided.
