An important update from our Leadership Board

This past Sunday, our Leadership Board Vice Chairman Jason Groth addressed our church family with an update regarding parking, our facility, and future plans.

If you were not in our services last weekend, we ask that you take just a few minutes to watch the video or read the transcript so that you are up-to-date.

Please continue to pray for our church family and our leadership teams as we seek God together!

All About Easter

We are holding our Easter service at Dunbar High School this year!

We will have one main service April 20 at 10:30am (with Children’s Ministry for birth through 4 years old). There will be an identical preservice at 8:15am at Dunbar specifically for all Easter volunteers and their families, as well as those with mobility issues or sensory challenges.

To hear more about the vision for this, check out this clip from Pastor Paul. More information will be released as we get closer to Easter.

We are excited for the opportunity to celebrate baptisms on Easter Sunday!

Any adults or high schoolers may be baptized that day; we will also have a Baptism Sunday on May 11 for children and middle schoolers! We have the ability to celebrate up to 6 baptisms in each Easter service (8:15am preservice and 10:30am main service).

Please let us know if you’re interested!
