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.

Change 4 Change Ministry

Middle & High School Volunteering

What it is: Change 4 Change is a ministry created and run by middle and high school students for over a decade. Every second Sunday of the month (some months are different), our students collect any spare change from congregation members before and after our worship services. Students get to be a part of deciding where the money collected should go to give back to our community!

How to get involved: We have two big ways students can get involved in this mission: (1) sign up to volunteer on collection Sundays and help collect and count change; (2) sign up to be a student-representative at the monthly Missions Meetings to be a voice in making decisions with the team.

Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more or have any questions!
