Community Events
Annual July 4th Ice Cream Social
Every year the neighborhood hosts an annual July 4th Parade. You are invited to decorate a golf cart, bicycle, car, or anything you may have with wheels, and ride around "the circle", a two mile route around the church on the lake. Parade starts at 10am and is followed by free homemade ice cream hosted at the church!
Chili Cookoff
We invite the neighborhood and community into a chili cook-off battle! In October, we gather to present and taste chili! All are welcome as cooks and tasters. As part of this event, we raise money for a local mission in our community!
Car Show
The 3rd Saturday of August, we gather in the church parking lot to show cars. This is a fun time together to gather with the community. All are welcome to bring their cars or motorcycles! All are welcome to come as spectators! There is food for sale that benefits the church ministry.
Bridge Events
Throughout the year, we gather on Saturdays from 10-12. These events, teach a skill while engaging the community. It is an opportunity to bring people together and spend time in community! We have hosted events such as flower arranging, charcuterie board, ceramic tree painting, and more!
