Upcoming
Adventures with Jesus Club
"Adventures with Jesus Club" (AWJC) continues each week throughout the school year. Bible lessons, games & activities, and a light snack will highlight the evening with kids and youth.
New Testament 260
Join Pastor Jack as he begins preaching through the New Testament throughout 2025. Grab one of the NT260 Reading Schedules to follow along. We are challenging each of you to read five chapters of the New Testament each week. All you have to do is read one chapter a day for five days each week. On Sunday, Pastor Jack will preach from the same passages that we, as a church, are reading together. That’s 260 days of reading the Word of God—and by the end of the year, we all will have read and preached through the entire New Testament.
Sunday School
Sunday Schools are meeting each Sunday morning @ 9:30 a.m. with a new purpose and a reimagined emphasis (Reach, Teach, and Witness). There is something for everyone. Here is a list of classes and locations:
Nursery—Nursery
Pre-K—Children’s Department (ground floor)
Children (Elementary)—Children's Department
Youth—Youth Department (3rd floor)
Young Adults— Youth Department (3rd Floor corner room)
