Wednesday, September 30th is a day off school for the kids, so why not celebrate a day off by spending time with other church families in the great outdoors. Normally, Wednesdays are YOUTH NIGHTS around the church, but we thought instead of just the youth meeting at the church, why not invite ALL KIDS from nursery to grade 12 and their

Every September, as ministry activities resume around the church, there are opportunities to serve. But serving is much more than simply filling a need, it's about an opportunity to make an impact. Serving in church does more than just fill a need, it actually creates an opportunity for YOU to make an impact in people's lives. Regardless of the role you serve in, or the way you serve (behind the scenes, leading, teaching, practical help, etc.), all of them have the potential

The songs we sing are a vital part of worship each week and need to be stewarded well. How do we decide what should and shouldn't be sung? How many songs do we know as a congregation? Do our songs teach us about God's holiness, wisdom, nature and love? Are these questions you are asking? If you are curious and interested in helping to steward our songs please come Tuesday Sept 15 and 22nd from 6-7pm. You will join Tawnya in taking a look at our song syllabus and partici

Good morning, church family! We had planned to gather outside for our service today, but with the rain, we’ve decided to move everything indoors.

And, looking on the bright side… we definitely won’t have any mosquitoes! 😄 So come ready to worship, eat, laugh, and enj

As many of you prepare to travel this summer, God has placed something on my heart that I would like to share with you. Consider this a simple word of pastoral advice: wherever your journey takes you, remember to take God with you. Vacations may change our surroundings and our routines, but they should never interrupt our walk with Him. Summer is a season when many people travel. We make plans, pack our bags, and go somewhere to rest, visit family, or enjoy new experiences. B

This summer we’re beginning a new sermon series through the book of Philippians called A Life Worth Living. Philippians is often called the letter of joy, but it teaches us something even deeper.

Whether you’re reading Philippians for the first time or have studied it many times before

Mother’s Day is a special opportunity to thank God for the gift and calling of mothers. A mother’s mission is far more than caring for daily needs — it is a God-given calling to nurture, teach, encourage, protect, and point others toward love and truth. Today, we also want to recognize and honor all kinds of moms among us: mothers with young children, grandmothers, single moms, moms-to-be, adoptive and foster moms, and spiritual mothers who faithfully invest in the next gener
