Mark your calendars for our Connect Brunch on Wednesday, Sept 16th at 9:30am. All women are welcome to attend!  Come enjoy conversation and delicious food, and hear about the new study we'll be starting this fall. Please bring some food to share.

We will start the study "Life Lessons from John" by Max Lucado on September 23rd. Cost: $20. Please register at the link below!

About the Study:
Witness the moments, ministry, and miracles of Jesus.  In Max Lucado's 12-lesson Bible study, Life Lessons from John, we are privileged to see the hands-on Jesus through the eyes of John, who saw his acts firsthand. The water that turned to wine; the mud placed on a blind man's eyes, the aroma of Mary's perfume, and even Jesus' voice. John's gift to us is a record of tender moments and heaven-powered miracles.

All students in Grades 8 to 12... Join us for an incredible weekend at Green Bay Bible Camp from September 18–20, 2026!

We'll meet at the church at 4:00pm on Friday, and travel by charter bus to Westbank. Our return is anticipated to be around 7:30pm on Sunday.

Cost: $180 per student (scholarships are available—contact Megan if needed). This includes transportation, accommodation, meals at Green Bay, wakeboarding/tubing, and all retreat activities.

You will also need to bring around $30 cash for Friday and Sunday dinners, and any additional snacks you want on the road.

Registration closes on Wednesday September 16th at midnight, but please sign up long before then! Space is limited.

God designed us for community and never intended for us to follow Him alone. Small groups are one of the best ways to experience genuine Christian community and grow in our faith as we study God’s Word, encourage and pray for one another, serve and equip others, and share life together.

GroupLink is an opportunity to meet other people and explore groups that fit your stage of life and availability, with the goal of joining or forming a small group. Pastor Brendan and small group leaders will be on hand to navigate you through the process of meeting others and finding a group where you can connect and grow.

Our next GroupLink will be on Sunday, September 20th. Join us between the services in the Upper Room from 10:20-10:50am. We'd love to help you take the next step toward finding community!

Join us for an interactive evening focused on keeping your marriage strong amidst the busyness of everyday life.
