Deborah House Collection

Throughout the month of September we will be doing a food and supply collection to support a longtime missions partner, the Deborah House. The Deborah House is a home in Tijuana Mexico that serves as a safe haven for women and children who are the victims of abuse. Not only do these women and children receive shelter, food, and other rehabilitation services, they are also shared the Gospel of Jesus. Click HERE to see what we are collecting.





Back to School Bash

Join us on Sunday, September 13 for a Back to School Bash! We will have a giant inflatable water slide, a slide n slide, hot dogs and snacks, and more. We're going to be kicking back and enjoying one last little taste of summer as the school year has already gotten started. This event is open to people of all ages and we encourage you to invite your friends!

Nova Class -- The Book of 2 Timothy -- beginning September 13

The book of 2 Timothy is a letter from Paul to Timothy that teaches readers what it means to be a disciple and how to disciple others. And its center point is the gospel of Jesus Christ. As we walk through the book of 2 Timothy we will learn what it means for disciples to be entrusted with the gospel, shaped by the gospel, and driven by the responsibility of sharing the gospel with others.
