EVENTS
Take a look at all that’s coming up…
Christmas Candlelight Service
Find true hope, true joy, and true love, as we honor the real reason for Christmas. On Sunday, December 22nd at 10:30, we hope you will join us for a special candlelight service as we remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Christmas Eve Communion
It is easy to get distracted by all of the events and bustle that comes with the holiday season. So much so that it’s possible to lose focus of what Christmas is truly all about. The presents and gatherings are all nice, but the most amazing gift was the birth of our Savior. On Christmas Eve, from 3 to 5, we have a sweet time between pastors and your family as we take communion, refocus, and reflect on the purpose of Jesus’ birth. This is a come-and-go event, so you can show up at whatever time works best for you. We would love to celebrate with you and share in this special moment.

Ladies Retreat
Join us for our 2024 Ladies Retreat! This year we will be in Mentone, Alabama again, from Thursday, April 25 - Saturday, April 27.
Just like last year, this retreat is an opportunity to hit “pause” on our daily rhythms and gather together to be encouraged, equipped, and strengthened as we are quiet, still, restful, and willing to draw close to hear the voice of God, growing closer to Him as we grow closer together.
We know there is so much to coordinate as we prepare for something like this time together, from saving up for the cost - $150 per person - to carpooling, childcare, and possibly having to take a vacation day. We want to encourage you to give all your concerns to Jesus, embrace all that He has waiting for you, and join in by:
Praying for this time together, that we will be able to hear the voice of God as we press into His presence and His hand will be upon this getaway and lives will be changed for the better!
Register early to ensure your spot - space is limited!
Invite a friend and encourage other ladies to join in.
We are so excited to return to the mountains of Mentone and expect God to speak and move during this getaway! Hope to see you all there!
“Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us” (Phil. 3:13-14).

Ready…set…GO! Kids Bash 2023 is happening Thursday, August 17th, and Friday, August 18th! What is Kid’s Bash? Well, if Vacation Bible School got all hopped up on Red Bull and Mountain Dew, had some of the most immersive props you’ve ever seen, and shrank down to 2 days, you STILL wouldn’t be scratching the surface of intensity or level of fun that is crammed into these 2 Jesus-centric nights. Life-sized Mario Bros.? CHECK! Live, in-person performance of “Peaches” featuring Bowser? CHECK! This video game-themed event kicks off on Thursday, August 17th with registration and a mobile video game truck on the property starting at 5pm. Each night’s service starts at 6pm and is jam-packed with music, lights, food, games, and most of all…JESUS! How we are able to fit all this in and wrap up at 8:30pm could quite easily become the 8th wonder of the world.
