Business Meeting
This Sunday, July 26th, we have a Quarterly Business Meeting following the morning service. If you are a church member, please plan to attend. Lunch will be provided following the service.
We need some people to bring Cole slaw, potato salad, and dessert. If you are willing to bring one, please let us know by clicking below.
Ministry Evaluation Survey
Please take a few minutes to complete our Ministry Evaluation Survey. Your feedback helps us identify what we're doing well and where we can improve as a church. The survey is completely anonymous, and we would greatly appreciate you taking the time to participate.
Please only fill this out if you have not done so already. If you have done this, please DO NOT do it again.
Kids Back to School Bash
K-5th Graders! Come join us on July 25th from 10am-12pm for a Back to School Bash!
We will have free jambalaya and snowballs if you bring school supplies! There also will be squishy trading, so bring a squishy to trade!
Fall D-Groups
Are you interested in joining a D-Group? We are getting ready to launch new D-Groups in the fall! A D-Group allows you to meet with 3-4 other believers for accountability, encouragement, and discipleship. D-Groups are based on gender and life season! We would love to get you connected and in a group to continue being formed in the image of Christ.
