Surrounded In Prayer

Whether it’s walking around the school grounds, placing a hand on a backpack, praying aloud on the drive to school, or around the dinner table – every word of prayer is an act of care, intention, and faith.

Let’s kick off this new school year by surrounding our students, teachers, and family with prayer.

Back to School Blessing

Saturday, August 8 and Sunday, August 9 | All Services

Back-to-School Blessing

Join us this weekend for our Back-to-School Blessing!

Join us this weekend as we recognize and bless all those preparing for the school year ahead in each worship service. After worship, families are invited to enjoy cookies, and on Sunday, take back-to-school photos with a real school bus.

Each child in children’s programming will receive a backpack tag as tangible reminders that God is with them and their church family is cheering them on.
