Youth Ministry

Service Wanted - Free Friday Lunch
We’re excited to share that we are starting an outreach called Friday Lunch! Each Friday during the high school lunch hour, we’ll be providing students with a free lunch as a simple way to bless them, build relationships, and show care for our community. To make this possible, we’re looking for volunteers who would be willing to help by providing a dish. We’ve created an online sign-up  where you can sign up to bring one or more dishes on the Fridays that work best for you. Whether you’re able to help once or multiple times, your generosity will go a long way in creating a welcoming and meaningful experience for students. Thank you for partnering with us to love and serve high schoolers in such a practical way. If you have any questions or want to serve, please feel free to reach out! Here is the link to signup to serve

Ministry Spotlight

Coffee and Donuts
The Coffee and Donuts Ministry is held each Sunday starting at 9 AM and continues until the start of Worship Service. It’s one I’m excited to promote! We gather in the fellowship hall to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere where we can connect, laugh, and build meaningful relationships with one another. Whether you’re new to the church or have been attending for years, this is a great way to meet new people and strengthen community among those you already know. It’s an open invitation to slow down, share a treat, and get acquainted with the wonderful people who make up our church family. All are welcome to enjoy plenty of coffee, donuts, and friendly conversation before we worship our Lord and Savior.
