  • We had a good start to the school year. The children’s back to school bash was great. We had a good crowd for the ice cream social and movie night. The overall attendance for August was good. We are now back on our regular schedule. I hope you are making plans to join us. Senor Elite Sunday is coming up in September. This is always one of our favorite recognition services.


    We are also looking to do some remodeling in the coming months. I am excited about this. We will keep you updated. Our English as a second language needs a few

    volunteers. This has been a wonderful ministry. Please see Connie Sexton if you feel led to help in this exciting ministry.

    Have a nice month and a nicer forever!      

  • Amber’s ABC Kids

    School is in full swing and so are we!! On Sunday nights at 5:00 we have Kids JAM in the FLC where we are diving into a series called Meals and Messages! Come ready to dig into God's word as we learn about trusting God's goodness through the bible. Wednesday nights are super fun too! Kids choir begins at 5:30 and Mission friends, RA's and GA's at 6:30.


    The Bible tells us repeatedly in His Word how all children are a gift from God. Every single life, every single child, is a reward and blessing. Whether they're bringing parents pride and joy, or whether they are teaching us how to be more patient and forgiving, children are a gift from God and a source for the growth of His Kingdom here

    on Earth!

  • Fall is right around the corner which means a change in the season.  Temperatures will be milder, leaves will be falling, and some will begin soup season in their households.  In the bible, we are told that there is a season for everything under the sun in Ecclesiastes 3:1. Now is a great time to get our youth back involved in services, local events, and fellowship.  Please be in prayer for our program.  

    We will have Nerf and Nachos on Sept 8th at 4:30pm- 6pm. 


    We will join our community in the Youth Rally at New Prospect on Sept 14th at 5pm.


    We will be hosting a fellowship with Central Wesleyan Church youth Sept 15th at 5 pm.

    I am currently needing to see if any of our current youth would like to attend the Move Conference at Wild Adventures December 29-30th .  Please let me know by September 13th .


    Thank you for your continued support.
