| | | | Celebrate Easter with us at 7:30, 9:00 or 10:30 AM | |
Join us on Easter Sunday, April 5 at 7:30, 9:00, or 10:30 AM for a powerful day of worship as we celebrate the cornerstone of our faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ!
Easter is not just a holiday; it’s a celebration of the ultimate victory over sin and death. It’s a time for reflection, renewal, and rejoicing in the promise of eternal life.
Bring your family and friends to share in this special occasion! We have age-appropriate programming for kids (birth through 5th grade) during the 9:00 and 10:30 AM services, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for our youngest worshippers.
| | | | Good Friday Meal & Service | |
On Friday, April 3, at 6:00 PM, we invite you to gather in the Youth Center for a special evening of fellowship and reflection. Enjoy a delicious meal catered by Agape.
Following the meal, we will gather in the Worship Center for a time of worship, devotion, and communion at 7:00 PM.
All ages are welcome! Bring your family and friends as we come together to remember Jesus' sacrifice on Good Friday, April 3.
| | NOTE: Registration is NOT required for the service at 7:00 PM. | | | | VBS Volunteer Registration | |
Vacation Bible School volunteer registration has begun!
This year's VBS is Monday, July 6, to Friday, July 10, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM. Our theme is 'Rainforest Falls.' Our goal is for every child who attends VBS to have a positive, meaningful experience that lasts a lifetime—and we can't do that without YOU!
It doesn't matter if you've never volunteered for VBS, or you're a seasoned VBS leader, your time and talents are needed.
Volunteer today!

The Dream Center has requested our help in providing a basket full of household essentials for a needy family.
With spring just around the corner, we want to support disadvantaged families by providing some fun Easter goodies and cleaning supplies! This is an excellent service opportunity for individuals, families, and groups to donate an Easter basket.

| | | | Women's Bible Study: Reading Through Proverbs | |
Have you ever closed your Bible and thought, “What did I just read?”
This spring, we are offering a new 11-day program that will provide more insight each day as you read through Proverbs. Tara-Leigh Cobble, founder of The Bible Recap reading plan on The Bible App, will share an in-depth explanation of what you read and how it fits into God’s story.
You can participate from the comfort of your own home on your own schedule! We will read Proverbs individually, but we will also have the opportunity to stay connected and encourage one another through a “Talk It Over” comment box within your group on The Bible app.
| | Join us for our 11-day study beginning Monday, March 16! | | | | |

Join us for a full day dedicated to covering our church, our community, and our homes in prayer!
For 24 hours beginning at 6:00 AM on March 23 to 6:00 AM on March 24, we're inviting the entire church family to join together, one hour at a time, to seek God, lift one another up, and listen for His leading.
Choose a one-hour time slot that works for you. You do not need to pray for the full hour. Simply use part of that time to pray where you are. A link to download a simple prayer guide to help you pray intentionally is available on the sign-up form.
| | |
Whether you're young or old, new to prayer or seasoned in it, early-birds or night-owls alike, we want every voice represented. Together, our prayers will create a continuous chain across the entire 24 hours.
Let's unite our hearts together and ask God for His work among us!
