Today is a special day for our church family as we honor four incredible young people: Zoe, Cloe, Aubri, and Kile. It’s hard to believe that their time in the youth group is coming to an end and they are about to begin a brand-new chapter of life. We are so proud of the men and women they have become. Each of them has left a mark on our hearts. We have watched them grow—not just in age, but in faith, character, and love for the Lord. Their smiles, their service, and their spi

What an amazing weekend we had at Lads to Leaders! It was so uplifting to see all of our kids’ hard work pay off. We had several that were finalists in their events, including three that were participating in the competition for the first time! We even had two kids who won first place in the Mass Media competition and because of the year-round events every kid that went got at least one medal; most got several. Winning is always fun but when I was watching the kids this weeke

In our teen class on Wednesday nights, we have been studying a series entitled “Finding Our Identity in Christ”. We have been looking at how we can identify ourselves by Christ’s standards and not the worlds. In Matthew 16:13–20, Jesus asks a question that echoes through the centuries: “Who do you say that I am?” It’s a moment of deep significance—not just for Peter and the disciples—but for every one of us. Our answer to that question reveals not only what we believe about J

Separation. Divorce. Family court. Words that carry pain, weight, and a sense of brokenness. I’ve been there. You can find hope again!

Wow! What a year it has been! I can’t believe that Andrea and I have been here for a year all ready. It seems like we started yesterday. This year has been both edifying and challenging but through your constant support and encouragement we have made it through. The best part is that we are only just beginning. We are continuing to see our kids and teenagers grow and thrive each and every week. Just in the last year, we have started a new Sunday morning kids program focusing
