👑 Join us this Sunday, June 14, at 5 PM for our Kingdom Adventure VBS Kick-Off Night! 🎉

Before VBS begins Monday morning, we’re starting the week with a fun night for VBS families, those planning to attend, and those interested in learning more before the week begins.

Kids and families will get a chance to see what VBS is all about while enjoying bounce houses, snow cones, hot dogs, games, prizes, and time together.

Church family, this night is for you, too! Even if you do not have kids attending VBS, we would love for you to come help us welcome families, encourage children, and start the week with joy.

This Sunday, we begin a new Sunday morning sermon series through the book of Isaiah!

Isaiah provides us with repeated reminders to "Look to the Light." This rich, prophetic book will point us to the Lord, who is our salvation. Isaiah majors on the sovereign rule of God over all, the seriousness of sin, the Lord's Servant who brings salvation, the certainty of a future with Him, and so much more.

It is a book that includes prophecies of judgment and peace, law and grace, our way and His way, the consequences of sin and the certainty of salvation, Israel's disbursement and deliverance, the 'Holy One of Israel' and the God of all the nations. It will remind us that even in the depths of sin and its snares, we have a God who always provides and offers salvation.

We hope to see you this Sunday as we begin our look at this incredible book.

You’re invited to Kingdom Adventure VBS! 👑

The invitation is officially in their hands… now we’d love to put one in yours!

This summer, kids will step through the castle gates and into the story of Daniel — a story all about one big truth:

God is the One True King who rules over all.

At Kingdom Adventure VBS, children will enjoy Bible lessons, music, crafts, snacks, drama, and small-group time as they learn that God gives wisdom, rescues His people, and that His kingdom lasts forever.

We would love for your child to join us for this free week of fun and truth from God’s Word!
