Upcoming Events

  • Onward - Our Next Gathering is Saturday 6/13 @ Echo Lake Park @ 9am

    ONWARD is a monthly gathering where young men come together with the men of our church to grow stronger physically, spiritually, and mentally. It’s a space to learn what biblical manhood looks like, to build real brotherhood, and to be pushed toward becoming the men God has called us to be.

  • Rec Nights: Basketball • Cornhole & The Word, last Friday of each Month

    Join us for Rec Nights, a fun and relaxed afternoon for youth and families to connect and enjoy time together. We’ll have basketball, pickleball, cornhole, group games, and a BBQ—all taking place in our church parking lot. It’s a great opportunity to invite friends, hang out, and build community in a laid-back setting.

  • Meeting Dates in June - July 2026

    We meet on the 2nd and 4th Friday of every month in the church basement. A typical night includes snacks, games, worship, teaching, and time to hang out together. We meet from 7:00–9:15 PM and welcome students ages 12–17. Come grow, build friendships, and discover Jesus with us.
