Volunteer with Youth!

We are in need of youth volunteers starting this fall. Volunteers build relationships with youth and, on occasion, help lead Bible studies or small groups. The weekly youth meeting occurs on Tuesday night and there are special events on the weekend each month. If you are interested in getting involved at any level, contact Lee or Becky Edwards or Pastor Ryan.


We are the Church

Learn about the life and ministry of our local church and be part of it by getting connected at the ministry fair after worship on Sunday, Sept. 12.


Fall Kick-Off

Join us on Sunday, September 12 as we “Walk with Grace” – taking steps of faithfulness in our life together. Wear your walking shoes, as we take short walks during worship to pray for our neighborhood. Come ready to take a step toward biblical faithfulness by signing up to attend a bible group. Come to get connected to Christ’s work in our local church at the ministry fair immediately following the worship. Let’s go!
