Nearly 100 teens from the community showed up to the first "Christian Teen Dance" Soda Shop Hop! 🔥
The energy, the music, the laughter—it was everything we hoped for and more.
We are so grateful for this community and the amazing teens who made it happen.
We’re just getting started. Keep an eye out here for the next dance!
This night truly came together because of so many generous people—thank you to Old Grande Cafe for the vintage café chairs, Andrea Singleton for the Coca-Cola pieces, and Shelly Shelley Templeton Bennett for all the incredible 50’s décor that brought the whole vision to life.
Kennya Jarvis your balloon arch skills are unmatched. 🙌
To all the parents who chaperoned and helped run security—thank you for creating a safe, fun space for these teens.
David Corley… frying french fries all night long—you’re a legend. 🔥
Julie Martin, Jamie Giles & Kennya for being the most darling ice cream servers ever!
Tim Andersen, the DJ energy was on point all night.
Our teen committee—you are the heart behind this.
And Tara Bias… just thank you for being you. ❤️
We’re so thankful for a community that shows up like this for our teens—and we can’t wait to do it again.
