FUNDRAISING EVENT! We will be having a SOUP SUPPER FOR MISSIONS on Wednesday night, February 26, 2024 at 6:00 PM in the MAC.
Our normal Wednesday night activities will be cancelled that night to allow everyone to attend. We will have assorted homemade soups, sandwiches and sweet treats plus mac and cheese for the kids! The cost will be by donation with the proceeds going toward the Honduras mission trip. What a great way to warm up on a cold winter evening! Be sure to mark your calendars and make plans to attend!

Upward News!

What a great Upward season we have enjoyed in 2025! Many thanks to the kids that played so hard, all our Coaches, Referees and other volunteers for their time and commitment in helping make this season a success

Soul Sisters/Ladies Night Out – Please meet Thursday, February 27th at 6:30pm in the fellowship hall. We will enjoy a wonderful night of fellowship with one another.

Second Harvest Food Bank mobile pantry will distribute food here, Friday March 21st at 10am-12pm (or until all allotted food has been given out).

Summer Camp!

We love taking kids to camp because of the awesome impact just one week can have in the life of a camper. The focus at camp is all about making sure no child leaves camp without a life-changing encounter with Christ. The staff and our church leaders will spend the week helping kids understand that God has a plan for us and desires a relationship with us.
If you have any questions, please see Jennifer Henderson or Jeff Harris.
