Upcoming events.
All Church Meeting
Join us on April 1 at 6:30pm for our All-Church meeting in the Traditional Sanctuary.
Lenten All-Ages Study
Join us on Wednesday evenings this Lenten season for a time of fellowship, learning, and spiritual growth. The evening begins with an optional, open-house-style dinner, providing an opportunity to connect before we break into age-specific Bible studies. Programs are available for children as young as six months through adulthood, and registration is required.
This year, we’ll explore The Third Day: Living the Resurrection by Tom Berlin. Through compelling storytelling and biblical insight, Berlin brings to life the experiences of those closest to Jesus in his final days. Rather than focusing on loss, this study emphasizes themes of new life and redemption.
Walk alongside Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Thomas as they navigate the sorrow of Jesus’ death and the unexpected joy of his resurrection. We’ll also journey with Paul, the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and others whose lives were transformed by the risen Christ.
Whether you can join us for one night or all five weeks, we welcome you to be part of this meaningful journey toward Easter.

Molly's Dollies
Molly's Dollies is an event collecting small dolls or action figures (they can be new or gently used) to benefit local needy kids!
This collection is inspired by Molly Selleck who sadly passed away suddenly at age 14. Her youth friends (now young adults) who wanted to honor her life and memory, organized this event. Molly was sweet, kind and had a sunny personality! She loved dancing, helping little children, she was a great friend, so this seemed like the perfect way to do something special in her memory!
