We would love for you and your family to join us for Family Worship Night on Sunday, August 2, from 5:30–7:00 PM.
As we begin a new school year and ministry year, we want to start by fixing our eyes on Jesus together. Before calendars fill up with school, sports, homework, and activities, we’re setting aside an evening to worship and intentionally pray over the year ahead.
Together, we’ll pray for our students, teachers, administrators, homeschool families, schools, and our church. Our desire is that this would be a year where our children grow in their love for Jesus, stand firm in their faith, and become lights in the places God has called them.
More than anything, we hope this night reminds our families that prayer isn’t our last response—it’s our first. There’s no better way to begin a new season than seeking the Lord together.
OLYMPIAD IS BACK!
Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 23, from 1:00–5:00 PM.
All middle and high school students are invited for an unforgettable afternoon of games, team competitions, challenges, and plenty of fun. Whether you’re in it to win it or just want to hang out with friends, Olympiad is the perfect chance to build community, make lasting memories, and enjoy some friendly competition.
We hope to see you and your friends there!
This is one of our most important gatherings of the year as we prepare for the ministry year ahead. We’ll walk through ministry expectations, classroom rhythms, safety policies and procedures, and what you can expect each Sunday. Whether you’ve served for years or this is your first time, our goal is for everyone to leave feeling equipped, confident, and ready to serve.
Monday, August 17, from 5:30–7:00 PM and childcare will be provided.
Ladies, you’re invited to Heirloom, our Women’s Conference on September 19th! This will be a meaningful day of worship, biblical teaching, conversation, and prayer as women of every generation gather together. The heart behind Heirloom is simple: every generation has something to learn, and every generation has something to share. Come be encouraged by the wisdom and faith of those who have gone before you, and consider the legacy you’ll leave for those who follow.
This is the one Sunday each year when children entering Kindergarten through 5th grade move up to their new (classroom, square, group?) for the upcoming school year.
If your child is currently 5 years old, they will move across to the Elementary Hallway on August 2 even if they aren’t entering Kindergarten.
If your child is under the age of 5, they will continue moving up based on their birthday. For example, if your child turns 3 in October, they will move into the 3-year-old classroom on their birthday rather than waiting until the following August.
If you have an incoming 6th grader (completed 5th grade), there will be a parent meeting immediately following service with Zach Ziino and Nic Archer to walk through what the transition into Shift will look like and what you and your student can expect.
