Baby Dedication is a special moment where families commit to raising their child to know, love, and follow Jesus—surrounded by the support and prayers of their church family.

If you’d like to dedicate your child, we would love to celebrate this milestone with you on March 22!

The registration link can be found in the comments!

Today we learned about a Roman commander who trusted Jesus to heal someone in his home (Matthew 8:5–13). The commander believed Jesus was so powerful that He only had to speak—and the young man would be healed. And that’s exactly what happened!

Our kids discovered that Jesus is powerful.

Bottom Line: Jesus is amazing!

Ask your child: “What did Jesus do just by speaking?”

Today we looked at a challenging teaching from Jesus in Matthew 5:38–48. Jesus taught that instead of getting even with people who hurt us, we can choose a different way—His way. When we “turn the other cheek” and go the extra mile, we show love that reflects God’s heart.

Bottom Line: Love like Jesus even when it’s hard.

Try asking your child: “What is one way we can love like Jesus this week?”

We are so thankful for everyone’s generosity so far!! Help us reach our goal to send every kid to camp 🧡

Because of your generosity, $16,000 has already been committed to “I Believe in Camp.” 🧡

That’s students who will encounter Jesus.
Friendships that will be formed.
Confidence that will grow.
Callings that may begin.

We are over halfway to our $30,000 goal — and now every gift through March 15th will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to our $30K goal by one of our very own Hopers! ☺️ God is so good.

Help us close the gap and send every kid to camp! Thank you for believing in the next generation.

We believe in camp and this summer, we want every student to have the chance to experience it.
Our goal is to raise $30,000 to help families send their kids to elementary, middle school, and high school camps. Through the I Believe in Camp campaign, you can play a part in helping the next generation encounter Jesus, build friendships, and create life-changing memories.
Stop by our booth in the lobby this Sunday morning to grab a s’mores kit and learn how you can help invest in students heading to camp this summer.
