We have some new faces around here, and old ones you might have never seen. Our staff are hard at work preparing for the launch of Fall programs. Please keep us all in your prayers as we jump into this new season!

♥ Give me Six ♥

We are blown away by those of you who have already committed to serving for six weeks this school year. We need 18 more volunteers to make our first 6 weeks of programming possible. Could you fill one of those spots?

If you can’t, we would be honored if you would share this with someone who could!

Volunteer Spotlight ✨

Miss Emily! Oh, how we love you!

Miss Emily started volunteering in 2025. She jumped right into the deep end and started out at Camp! Since then, she has become an integral part of our community. She shows up whenever and wherever we need her (usually with very short notice). She loves the kids and engages with them in such a youthful and joyful way! Never backing down from a dare to jump into the baptismal 😂

If you see Emily today, tell her she rocks 🤘

What a beautiful way to end the summer! A huge thank you to everyone who made our Back to School Blessing possible! From donating school supplies to making balloon animals and serving cotton candy! You are the hands and feet of Jesus!

These are pictures from a dinner two weeks ago - summer is crazy, Facebook is behind :)

One of the sweetest parts of summer has been watching our younger kiddos step up and serve. They LOVE getting to serve at the dinners. We even have one sweet boy who lovingly prays in Spanish before the dinners start so that our Spanish-speaking neighbors can understand!

We finished out the summer of serving with The Other Way Ministries last week with a little bit of Christmas magic! Our word of the day was Emmanuel - so of course, a Christmas party had to follow. It has been a treat watching our younger teens step up and lead these kids towards Jesus!

Last night we bid farewell to InSpirit church! After a nearly 15-year partnership, they are moving on to follow God's direction for their church. InSpirit has been a faithful supporter of UICM. They have done God's Club monthly and hosted a dinner every summer. We are so incredibly thankful for them and the huge impact they have made on the Black Hills!
