The Loop

TREK
"Don't Stop. Don't Give Up. God's With You!"
After the church was formed, being a follower of Jesus wasn't easy. But we can see in God's Big Story that no matter what happens, we can have the perseverance to not give up when it gets hard because God is with us.
6 months – 5th grade
"Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don't give up."
Galatians 6:9, NIrV

Family Worship

Heaven
Revelation 21:3-5

Family Worship Sunday
Family Worship on the fifth Sunday is more than sitting together in service — it's a meaningful opportunity for children and youth to discover the joy of serving. We invite young people to step into roles that help create a welcoming environment for everyone, serving as Ushers, Greeters, or Welcome Center team members. Our prayer is that they experience the joy of community while serving others.
