Our TrailLife Program offers solid Stockade (grades K-5) and Battalion (grades 6-12) programs for boys. It’s an action-packed ministry of regular meetings and special activities. The weekly meeting is a time of games, stories, achievements and a regular challenge from the Word of God. Our group will also hold special events and try to bring together the other TrailLife groups in the area. These include camping trips, sporting events and other fun activities.  

Please fill out both of these each year!

GEMS/FRESH 7:00-8:15PM (girls in grades 1-12)
In a culture that constantly seeks to define girls through a worldly lens, we seek to teach them who they are in Christ. At GEMS & FRESH, they will make relationships, learn about God, and have fun! The vision is to see girls actively and enthusiastically expressing love for God and others and to be equipped, motivated, and passionately engaged in living out their faith.

SERIES OVERVIEW: A 4-WEEK SERIES:
During this four-week series, we’ll take a look at the story of Samuel and the ways that God called him to share his faith through words and action. Together, we’ll explore how God invites us to share the good news, why sharing the good news should start with prayer, what to do when sharing the good news requires risk, and how sharing the good news can happen every day.
