New Sermon Series
starting this Sunday, May 31st

This summer, join us for Vacation Bible Stories — a five-week sermon series revisiting some of the Bible’s most familiar stories.

From Noah and Esther to Samson and the Burning Bush, we’ll explore the stories many of us first encountered as children and we'll discover the deeper questions, challenges, and truths they speak into our adult life today.

These are the stories you grew up with… all grown up.

Employment Opportunity

Our Sunday morning childcare ministry, which serves children from infancy through preschool, is looking for a few caring hearts to join our substitute team.

This is a wonderful way to support the children and families of our church community with a commitment of just one or two Sundays each month.

Our childcare employees enjoy tasks that range from simply helping our little ones feel safe and loved to reading and playing to supporting a teacher with a light Biblical curriculum.

Hours are typically from 9:30 - 11:30 am Sunday mornings.

If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Tammy at [email protected].
