Weekend, February 6-8

Are you ready for the best weekend of the year?!

From February 6-8, we’re hosting an unforgettable youth retreat packed with powerful worship, a silent disco, crazy stage games, and time with some of our favorite youth leaders.


Throughout the weekend, students will experience meaningful worship, hear challenging messages, play games, and serve our local community. The retreat is designed with Middle Schoolers (6th–8th grade) in mind, and every element (games, worship, small groups, and bonus activities) is crafted to make this one of the most impactful weekends they can imagine.


But what about High Schoolers?


This retreat gives 9th–12th graders the chance to put their faith into action while having an incredible time with their friends. High school students will help lead small groups, serve on the worship team, work behind the scenes, and guide our middle schoolers throughout the weekend. Even though the retreat is geared toward Middle School, it consistently becomes one of the highlights of the year for High Schoolers as well.

This on‑campus retreat is a game‑changer for every grade, and for the families who get to watch their students grow in faith, friendship, and confidence. To register, click on button. We also have plenty of opportunities for adult volunteers, please contact Rev. Jono Moehlig for more details.

June 15-18

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL REGISTRATION IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!


June 15-18: Step into ancient Rome and discover the powerful story of Paul and the Underground Church. Kids will explore bustling streets, hidden house churches, and Roman prisons as they learn how the early Christians followed Jesus with courage, faith, and hope—even when it was risky. Through engaging Bible stories, worship, crafts, games, and interactive marketplace shops, children will discover that Jesus is always present and that God’s love cannot be stopped.

Weeks throughout the Summer

Registration is now officially open for these wonderful, themed camps offered throughout the summer. Click on button for more information.

The Visiting Friends Ministry is deeply grateful to the Smyrna First family for the hundreds of cards donated during the Christmas season. In addition to Christmas cards, we now have a generous supply of birthday, thinking‑of‑you, blank, and other cards. These will be sent to members in assisted living, those who are homebound, and others in our church family who could use a reminder of our love and care. Because of your remarkable response, we are also able to make cards available to anyone in the congregation who enjoys sending notes of encouragement.



The card basket is located in the Welcome Center café area near the piano. Please help yourself to cards and calendars.
