Please get in touch with us if you have any questions.

We have three events this fall: our School Supply Drive, UGM: One Table Event, and Trunk or Treat. Each event offers opportunities to donate items and volunteer in person! Would you consider donating items for ONE of these events and serving at ONE of these events?

Hearts at Home is our ministry for moms with young kids. If you have children who are not yet in school, or you homeschool young kids and are looking for community with other moms, we would love for you to join us on Thursday mornings from 9:00 am–11:00 am beginning September 26. Childcare is provided.
This fall, we will go through the book "Hard Is Not The Same As Bad: The Perspective Shift That Could Completely Change the Way You Mother" by Abbie Halberstadt.
We hope to see you there!

Soul Care Intensives start September 9, 2024.
Soul Care explores seven principles that are profound healing tools of God: securing your identity, repentance, breaking family sin patterns, forgiving others, healing wounds, overcoming fears, and deliverance. Life change is hard. But these principles, when packaged together and lived out, can lead to lasting transformation, freedom, and a healthy soul.

Although some of our programs take a small break in August, our staff is busy preparing for fall kick off. We love our church and the ministries we have the privilege of leading. That leadership takes time, intentionality, and creativity. We ask that our church family pray for our staff as we prepare our hearts and hands for a new ministry year.
