Every summer, we see the same thing: paint-stained fingers and glue-covered tables. But if you look closer, there is so much more happening than just a mess.

Art Camp is about...

  • Creativity: Discovering that we are made in the image of a Great Creator.


  • Confidence: Watching a child realize they can create something beautiful from scratch.


  • Community: Building friendships that go deeper than just sharing a box of crayons.


We provide the supplies and handle the cleanup—your kids provide the imagination!

Spots are limited. So don’t wait to sign up your child/ren.


Be Part of what God is Doing!

Not a "Picasso"? No problem! We need more than just artists to make this week a success. We need helpers, snack-planners, and encouragers. Whether you’re leading a station or helping behind the scenes, you’re investing in the next generation and building a foundation of faith and fun.

This Week's Message "Joseph: Breaking From Our Past" Pastor Jeremy Cobb | Genesis 30.22–35:22 Is your life story about you or about God? In this past week's sermon, Pastor Jeremy dove into the life of Joseph and how his life was shaped by messiness and a broken home... but God. We all have brokenness in our lives—favoritism, grief, loss, shame, loneliness, and rivalry—but where do we get our needs met? Christ is the foundation, and only He can meet all of our needs.
