Children & Youth Ministries Weekly Update

Congratulations Class of 2025!

This Sunday we had the joy of celebrating our 2025 High School Graduates. A handful of our students helped plan and lead our worship service by sharing talks, leading liturgy, and helping lead our music. Pastor Scott encouraged us all to dare to dream big dreams with God, a message that all of us can grow from. Thank you all for being faithful sisters and brothers in Christ to these students. To our graduates we are so thankful we get to see the work the Lord has done and is continuing to do, we love you!!
