Get out your calendars and save the date, Saturday October 28th is going to be a blast! Join us for our Fall Family Extravaganza from 3:00 – 5:30pm on our main campus parking lot.

This event is open to everybody so invite all of your neighbors and friends to come.

Here is How You Can Help:

• Save A Spot: Last year we had thousands of people from our congregation and community on our campus for this fun event. This year we want to invite you to gather your family, friends, small group, class, teams and save some spots in our parking lot to host some fall fun! You can set up and decorate trunks, use lawn chairs and card tables, host a game, and so much more. Awards will be given out to those who show the most fall fun! We can’t wait to see how creative everybody can be. The more saved spaces, the more fun for our congregation and community. To save a spot, fill out this quick form.
