Christmas Eve Service
Join us on Christmas Eve for a special service and communion as we take this time to remember the incredible gift of Christ's coming to earth in the incarnation. This season, we reflect on the hope, love, and joy that His birth brings to all humanity. As we gather in worship and fellowship, we celebrate the profound mystery of God with us, Emmanuel. Together, we share in the blessing of communion, remembering the sacrifice that would later bring salvation to the world. Let this holy night remind us of God's boundless grace and the promise of peace on earth. We look forward to celebrating with you!

Vacation Bible School
Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible?
At this VBS, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call. These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday life.
Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!
Generate Students Youth Camp
We are going to Louisiana Tech for Summer camp this coming year. June 10th-14th.
The cost of the camp is $385. (We are doing the serve option) We are planning on giving some fundraising opportunities to help with the cost of the trip. Each student who helps with the yardsale will get up to $100.
The Due date to sign up is January 8th. (Signing up soon will bring a smile to your youth pastor's face.) A $50 deposit is required when signing up. For any cancellation made after January 31, the student is still responsible for paying the amount due if a replacement cannot be found.
