Bible Adventures Week (VBS) - Bible Adventures Week is held during the summer and is a one week long Bible program designed to excite, equip, and engage children in the Word of God.

Christmas Theater - Christmas Theater is an annual music and drama production designed to be both a celebration and to help people understand God through the arts. The program is performed several times over a two-week period, and there are different venues available for people to choose from. Some of the performances include elegantly decorated tables with a four-course dinner while others offer a more family friendly casual dinner or dessert option. Each of the performances includes the theatrical production, live music and food. It is a great opportunity to invite friends for a special evening of remembering Christ’s birth as we enter the Christmas season. Click here to learn more.
