Help Us Bless Our Educators!
As a new school year begins, we want to honor and encourage the teachers and school staff in our church family.
Whether they serve as a teacher, administrator, office staff member, bus driver, custodian, cafeteria worker, teaching assistant, counselor, coach, or in any other educational role, we want them to know they are appreciated and prayed for.
How You Can Help:
We are collecting $30 Amazon or Walmart gift cards to give to our members who serve in education.
Gift cards may be dropped off at the Church Office.
Thank you for helping us show Christ's love and appreciation to those who faithfully invest in the lives of students every day!

Soul Care
Join Pastor Nate Leonard and Davy Crockett for a Wednesday night Bible study at 6:30pm in room E210 (Seeker’s Class) focused on “Soul Care.” This practice, based on Galatians 6:2 - “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ”- will involve studying scripture and Dr. Larry Crabb’s book Connecting. (Cost of $10 - weekly reading is required!)
Participants will work toward enhancing their ability to offer Christ-centered care to peers through authentic connection, active listening skills, and the filter of grace. Certain active participants will be invited to further their skills and apply them in practice following the completion of the class.
