Register for VBS!

Every summer we host VBS for hundreds of kids, and we need your help! Students in Middle & High school are encouraged to volunteer with us for the week, you can help in the snack room, leading groups, or other ways. It's a great way to get volunteer hours for the summer, and there are sweet treats every day for the volunteers. Register here to volunteer!

Youth Student Stocks - Support our Students!

Are you looking for a way to support the youth traveling to Romania this summer? Here's your chance to make a difference! By purchasing a stock, you'll not only invest in their mission but also become an integral part of their journey. Your support will directly contribute to aiding in covering essential expenses such as supplies, food, travel, and accommodations. Each stock purchase will serve as a vital donation towards their mission trip fund. But that's not all!

When you buy a stock, you'll receive:

• A receipt confirming your contribution.

• An exclusive invitation to a special luncheon hosted by the youth group at the end of July.

• The opportunity to engage with the students, hear their stories firsthand, and ask any questions about their experiences in Romania.

We recommend $50 per stock, but any amount is immensely appreciated. Every dollar counts towards making this trip a success. Your support and prayers mean the world to us! Thank you for your generosity and let's make this mission to Romania an unforgettable experience for all!

For more information, email our Youth Director, Tori Crook, at tcrook@firstcentenary.com. Donations can also be given to Tori in-person. Donate online here.
