Women's Bible Study

Women's Bible Study

Join us as we study Melissa Spoelstra's Jeremiah: Daring to Hope in an Unstable World

When we look around at today’s world, hope usually isn’t the first word that comes to mind. In many ways we live in an unstable world where marriages fail, bank accounts run low, friendships end, and the everyday demands of a fast-paced life get us down. In the Book of Jeremiah, we find God calling out to His people with a message of hope—a message that intentional living is possible even in an unstable world. But how do we do this? Where do we start?

Change 4 Change Volunteering

Change 4 Change Ministry

Middle & High School Volunteering

What it is: Change 4 Change is a ministry created and run by middle and high school students for over a decade. Every second Sunday of the month (some months are different), our students collect any spare change from congregation members before and after our worship services. Students get to be a part of deciding where the money collected should go to give back to our community!

How to get involved: We have two big ways students can get involved in this mission: (1) sign up to volunteer on collection Sundays and help collect and count change; (2) sign up to be a student-representative at the monthly Missions Meetings to be a voice in making decisions with the team.

Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to learn more or have any questions!

In today’s chaotic world—where relationships strain, finances falter, and daily demands overwhelm—hope often feels out of reach.

We can’t wait to walk this encouraging journey together!
