EVENTS
Easter Service
He is Risen indeed! Come celebrate Easter Sunday with us at one of our three services! We will have a 7am, 9am, and 11am service. This is a great time to invite friends and family to join in our congregational worship service.
As usual, we will have childcare during our 9am service. But not as usual...our 7am service will have donuts!!! That's right, if you can be at the church that early you will gain your earthly reward of donuts. Get them while they last!
Run Club Fun Run
Race distances: 1 mile; 5k; 10k; Half Marathon.
This is an unofficial run for each person to do at their own pace. The goal for the Fun Run is to have fellowship around running and food. There will be recommended loose start times. The start/finish line will be the same for everyone.
Run and give the amount of effort of your choosing. Go for a PR or just walk a mile with a friend.
If you come either as a runner or spectator, please bring a prepared dish to share (we do not plan to man the grill). At 11:30am we will have a potluck.
Easter Egg Hunt
Join us for our annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 19th, from 10am-11am at the field behind the Roastery at 1319 W Main St!
Kids will come together and hear the Easter story before having the opportunity to find hidden eggs! Register on the church center app and invite your friends in the community!
Good Friday
Please consider joining us for a special Good Friday service as we gather to remember the day our Lord was crucified. This unique and meaningful service will provide an opportunity for us to reflect on the significance of "Good" Friday and somberly seek to understand its deeper meaning.
This year, we will be having two services at 6pm and 8pm. We will also be having childcare for the 6pm service.
We believe that this service will be a time of spiritual growth and reflection, and we encourage you to join us as we seek to find the true significance behind this important day in the Christian calendar. We look forward to having you with us as we come together to honor and remember the sacrifice of our Lord.

Ash Wednesday
The season of Lent starts on Wednesday, March 5th. This day is known as Ash Wednesday and is a day of repentance, when we confess our sins and profess our devotion to God.
We would like to welcome you to join us for service on that day, so that you can be marked with the sign of the cross as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice. We will be hosting a service at 6:30 AM and 5:30 PM.
Women's Bible Study - Take Courage
Do you ever feel like the happy ending of your story is a million miles away?
Then you know how the Jewish people felt when they returned to their wrecked land after exile and began rebuilding the temple. They were distracted, discouraged, and ready to throw in the towel. But the prophet Haggai reminded them they could find courage in the God who had never left them.
Sometimes the landscapes of our lives feel wrecked, with our hope and purpose in shambles. We too get distracted and discouraged. However, God’s presence and promises give us courage to press on and trust Him with our story.
In this 7-session study on the book of Haggai with Jennifer Rothschild, learn to walk confidently in your calling, stay motivated despite opposition, and courageously invest your life in God’s purposes, trusting Him for results you may never see in this lifetime.
Valley Women's Breakfast
Valley Women breakfast with guest speaker Amy Whitfield, Mom to two teenagers, and Executive Director of Communications at the Summit church. Amy is passionate about growth and development of Christian women and loves stories. She will use stories to share with us how our spiritual practices are an invitation to the Spirit to help us in whatever stage of life we are in to have a deeper and more fruitful walk with Jesus. We will also have worship, testimony, and fellowship. All are welcome!
