Children

Children of all ages receive ministry during our regularly scheduled worship services, Sunday School hour, and other church wide events.

Dinner For Eight

Rotating groups meeting at each others’ homes for food, fun, and fellowship. These groups of 4-5 couples (or friends) meet once every 6 weeks for dinner, and then about every 6 months or so, they are ’shaken up’ again and the groupings changes.  It is a lot of fun, and a great way to get better acquainted with others in our church family!  If you are interested, please contact Lana Stull.

Dinner Group

Also known as “The Restaurant Group” is for people interested in getting together for dinner with friend from the church…but “Dinner for Eight” just has not suited your life style.  If you have a small dining space, or just don’t want to cook, then this group would be perfect for you!  Contact Liz for more information.
