Our March Madness food drive has come to an exciting end! 🏀🥫

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we collected over 200 food items to help those in need—what an incredible blessing!

And of course… it wouldn’t be March Madness without a little fun—three of our leaders took a pie to the face! 🥧😂

Thank you to everyone who donated, participated, and cheered us on. Together, we made a difference!

Our youth truly stepped up and made today’s egg hunt so special! Even the rain couldn’t stop us! ☔🐣 From helping organize to serving with joyful hearts, they showed what it means to love and lead like Christ. We are so thankful for each of them and the difference they made in our community today. 💛

“Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” — 1 Timothy 4:12

The cheers of “Hosanna!” have faded.
The cross has been carried.
And now, the world sits in silence.
The tomb is sealed.
The world is still.
But God is not finished.

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5

Hold on—resurrection is near. 🌅

🐣 Rain or Shine—We’re Ready! 🐣

Our Easter celebration is ON for tomorrow, no matter the weather!

🌧 If it rains: Join us for a drive-thru experience where we’ll fill your child’s basket with eggs, send you home with a fun craft + a treat, and snap pictures with the Easter Bunny right from your car.

☀️ If it’s sunny: We’ll enjoy our Easter Egg Hunt, bounce house, plus the bike parade as planned!

We can’t wait to see you there!

The saddest and most glorious days in history are only three days apart.

On Good Friday, we remember the cross—the sacrifice, the suffering, the weight of our sin.

What looked like the end… was only the beginning.

Isaiah 53:5 "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.”

Our downtown sanctuary is open for prayer today from 9am-6pm

14 youth. 2 adults. One trip to the Mall of Georgia… and a whole lot of love (and steps 😅)

We laughed, we walked… and walked… and walked some more 🛍️
Every “just one more store” turned into a memory, and every snack stop turned into a full group hangout.

There were moments of “Where did they go?” followed by “Oh, there they are!”—but through it all, these kids stuck together, looked out for each other, and made the day so much fun.

We may be tired… but our hearts are full ❤️
Grateful for every laugh, every conversation, and every one of these amazing kids.

And yes… by the grace of God, we brought all 14 back 🙌

Glow sticks ✔️
Candy everywhere ✔️
Youth running like it’s the Olympics ✔️
Leaders trying to keep up… questionable 😂

Our Glow Egg Hunt was a glowing success (literally 😆). So thankful for an amazing group of youth who brought the energy, the laughs, and maybe just a little chaos. Nights like this remind us how special this community is 💛

Most importantly, we celebrate the reason behind it all — the light of Jesus shining brighter than any glow stick ✝️

“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” — Matthew 28:6

Already counting down to next year… and maybe investing in better running shoes 👟😂
