Dear families,
As summer draws closer, many are wondering
“What’s happening?”
with Vacation Bible School, Confirmation Camp, youth trips, and more.
Great question! Our team is navigating these decisions with church leadership and our camp and mission partners based on recommendations from government leaders and public health officials. Our priority will continue to be the safety and well-being of our children and youth, our volunteers, and our staff.
We believe a “return to normal” will be introduced over months, not days or weeks, and therefore we’re taking one step at a time. We intend to make decisions for June programs by May 1 and decisions for July and August programs by early June. Rest assured that if events are suspended we will look for meaningful alternatives to learn, connect, and grow together. You’ve already seen creativity emerging from our team for at-home and online activities and we’ll find ways to reimagine children, youth, and family ministry for the summer! Above all, we want to remember that what is essential is sharing the Good News of Jesus, equipping families for life-long faith, and being connected as a faith community within the Body of Christ.
Thank you for your patience. Stay tuned!

Director of Children, Youth & Family Ministry
