As the final moments of the year gently fade away, we invite you to pause, reflect, and usher in the New
Year not just with excitement but with purpose, peace, and profound faith.

We understand that everyone's schedule and comfort levels are unique, so we're offering multiple ways for you to connect with us: We’ll have two in-person services.
First service at 12 Noon (Central), so you can start your reflections early, and the second in-person service at 7 PM (Central), to gather with us in the evening for a powerful worship experience as we draw closer to the night.

Lastly, we will have a Virtual Service beginning at 11:30 PM (Central) via YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram Live for those who wish to cross the midnight threshold with us from wherever you are. You can tune in for an exceptional, intimate virtual service.

Don't just count down the minutes; make them count. Choose the service that best suits you and your family, and let's bring in the New Year together – anchored in powerful worship and a life-changing word from God. We hope that you join us.
