We’re excited to partner once again with Church on the Street for their Laundry With Love ministry! This outreach provides neighbors in our community the opportunity to wash their clothes and bedding free of charge—and we’ll be there to serve a hot, welcoming meal along the way.

We would love your help! Volunteers are needed to prepare and serve the meal, offer friendly conversation, and assist guests with using the washing machines. It’s a simple but meaningful way to share kindness, dignity, and God’s love with others.

⛳️ Tee Up for a Brighter Future!

We would love for you to be a part of a special day filled with community, friendly competition, and heart. Mark your calendars for May 31, 2026, as we gather at the beautiful Northern Links Golf Club for the Youth Golf Tournament!

This event is so much more than a day on the green—it’s an investment in the lives of our young people. By joining us, you are directly supporting the spiritual growth, mission experiences, and faith development that shape our youth into the leaders of tomorrow.
