What's Happening Today

We have Pre-Service Prayer every Sunday from 9:20 to 9:40 am in the library. This is a time to pray for the morning service, including the worship, the sermon, and the life of our church. Everyone is welcome, and all ages are invited. Join us as we prepare our hearts and commit the service to the Lord together.

Our next Prayer Event will be today, September 6th, in Room 308 from 11:15-12:15 pm. The theme will be praying for small group leaders and small groups. We look forward to praying together with you all at our next prayer event!

The Connection Table
Each Sunday, special tables will be reserved in the gym as a relaxed, welcoming space for anyone to meet others, build friendships, and grow together in community. Whether you’re new or have been attending for some time, we invite you to join us for fellowship and conversation.
If you are new, we encourage you to first stop by the Newcomers Welcome Booth to receive a special welcome gift, then come by the Connection Table to connect with others.
We look forward to getting to know you and helping everyone feel at home!

Name Tag Sunday will be happening on September 13th. This is a great opportunity for our English congregation to get to know one another better.
