Youth Christmas Party!

SAVE THE DATE! Our Christmas party is less than a month away! We will have more details to come but here's what you need to know NOW:


  • It will be during normal youth hours on Wednesday, December 7th
  • There will be an ugly Christmas sweater contest!
  • Everyone is encouraged to wear their best Christmas pajamas!
  • Bring a snack/dessert/side to share!


Come hang out with us for our last big celebration of 2022!!

Free Meals Campaign

Each year we ask families of the church to donate money towards our Sunday & Wednesday meals. This is a lot easier than asking parents to sign up to bring breakfasts and dinners and it is cheaper as well. 


If 36 of our youth's families donate $150 then we will have enough money to pay for ALL of our meals for the entire school year. Give the full amount or give part of the amount monthly or in whatever way you would like. Some choose to give $50 per month for 3 months or $25 a month for six months. Any amount is helpful. 


So far, we have raised $2,344.96!! Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! To give, simply write a check, write "Free Meals Campaign" or "Youth Meals" in the memo line and drop it in the offering plate on Sunday or send it with your child on Wednesday night.
