Welcome 2023!

Please join our midweek this Wednesday, January 11, 7pm, at Butler Middle School, to learn more about our plans for 2023 and how we plan to “Hear His Voice, Proclaim His Name, and Write the Future” in the Northwest! We are meeting early to encourage everyone to be there—adults and kids.

Children’s Ministry Changes

Starting this month, we will have classes that meet for the entire service. You can check your child in starting at 9:45am. Please remember to take your child to the bathroom beforehand and provide a peanut-free snack.
