Join us for Easter FX, a fun and meaningful family experience where you'll be guided through interactive stations that bring the Easter story to life! As you travel from scene to scene, you'll collect eggs along the way—each one holding a special surprise that connects to the story of Jesus' journey to the cross and His resurrection.

At the end of your journey, gather with our event host to open your eggs and uncover the deeper meaning behind each item inside. Through hands-on activities, storytelling, and reflection, families will gain a greater understanding of the hope and joy of Easter.

All ages welcome (but geared toward preschool - 3rd grade), this engaging event blends faith, fun, and fellowship in a way that will leave a lasting impression on your family’s Easter celebration. https://www.facebook.com/share/1KqGtSNEQb/

This Easter, we're inviting families to do more than hear the story of Jesus-we're inviting you to step into it together.
Step into the Story is an immersive, family-friendly Easter experience designed to help children and adults journey through the final days of Jesus' life, from joyful praise to the cross, from the silence of the tomb to the hope of resurrection. Through hands-on stations, simple prayers, and shared moments of reflection, families will walk the Easter story side by side.
This is not a performance or a program to sit through. It's a guided experience you move through at your own pace, using all your senses-celebrating, wondering, praying, and responding together. Whether you come with deep faith, big questions, or a mix of both, there is room for you here.
Along the way, families will:
Wave palms and shout praise as Jesus enters Jerusalem
Pause in the Garden to talk with God about trust and hard things
Reflect at the cross on forgiveness and love
Sit together in the darkness and discover hope
Celebrate joyfully at the empty tomb
Receive a blessing and plant a seed as a reminder of new life.
This experience is designed especially with children in mind, but meaningful for every generation. It's a space where laughter and reverence can exist together, where questions are welcome, and where the Easter story becomes personal and memorable.
We would love for you to join us and invite friends, extended family, and families in your community to come with you.
Come as you are. Bring your kids or grandkids. Step into the story of Easter-together.

612 (6-12th grade) PARENTS JOIN YOUR KIDS AS WE WATCH A MOVIE TOGETHER

On 2/15, we will watch The Passion of the Christ together as a
way to prepare our hearts for the Lenten season.

The Passion of the Christ is rated R and contains intense and graphic depictions of the crucifixion. Because of the nature of the content, this viewing is completely optional and at your discretion as parents.

Our heart in offering this is to help students reflect more deeply on Jesus’ sacrifice as we enter Lent, while also honoring each family’s comfort level and boundaries.

Grateful for the trust you place in us.

MIX was amazing! The conference focused on the In Between. Jesus was our in between. He was our High Priest. We are cleansed by His blood. His love never runs out. No matter what. We get to be part of God's family. We are not guaranteed a life free of haard moments. The race is long but He will always be with us. You will want to quit sometimes, but fix your eyes on Jesus.

Parents, Let’s Talk About Anxiety in Kids

Anxiety is showing up in the lives of younger and younger kids, and many parents are left wondering how to help. This is such an important issue for families, and we want to create space to talk about it openly—through a lens of faith, hope, and understanding.

Here’s a great article/resource to get the conversation started:

We've all felt it. That creeping sense of dread, followed by a taunting internal voice that seems well-versed in all of our worst fears. Our thoughts run on

5 Days. One Book. Countless Moments.

We dove deep into the Word, wrestled with truth, and were challenged in ways we didn’t expect. There were tough lessons, tearful prayers, joyful laughter, and unforgettable moments of connection.

— bonded by faith, strengthened by grace, and rooted deeper in Christ.
Thank you for the memories, the vulnerability, and the bold steps you took in your walk with God.

Hebrews 10:23 — “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”
