We take corporate worship seriously and desire to see many come to faith in Christ.

The camp is designed for campers in K 8 th grade with distinct themed weeks to choose from. Our goal is to connect each camper and their family to the life of the church.Every other year, we host The Presence: A Live Nativity Experience, which has become a big hit. It is an all-hands-on-deck experience, from the youngest to the oldest, to help our guests experience the biblical story of Christmas, from the Roman guards and marketplace to the shepherds and their sheep keeping watch in the field. From the serenity of the manger scene with Mary, Joseph, and the Baby to the donkey, camels, and Wise Men who have traveled to bring their gifts. We invite people in from the cold to enjoy warm cocoa and cookies to decorate.In addition to our outreach, each and every Sunday, we gather to hear the Word of God preached, to sing praise, pray together, and fellowship.
