Things to Celebrate
Kamp KidLIFE
What an incredible week! This year's Kamp KidLIFE was our biggest ever, with more than 100 kids each night—from 4-year-olds through 4th graders—hearing about the hope and love of Jesus. Nearly 100 adults and students served throughout the week, creating an unforgettable experience for kids and their families.
Most exciting of all, many children began conversations about taking next steps in their faith! Please join us in praying for these kids and their parents as they attend our New Beginnings class on July 8, where they'll learn more about following Jesus and believer's baptism.

STUDENT CAMP
June 15–20, 20 junior high and high school students traveled to Lake Forest Ranch in Macon, Mississippi, for an incredible week of camp. Through worship, biblical teaching, small groups, and plenty of fun, students were challenged to grow in their relationship with Jesus.
The greatest celebration came as one of our high school students surrendered her life to Jesus! Thank you for your prayers and generosity that helped make this life-changing week possible for our students.

MID-YEAR FINANCIAL UPDATE
God continues to provide in incredible ways through your faithful generosity!
Through the first half of 2026, our church family has given $453,464 in tithes and offerings, compared to $389,803 at this same point last year.
We also wanted to update you on our building renovation loan. When we completed the renovation of our new facility, we borrowed $418,000. Through God's provision, your faithful generosity, and wise financial stewardship, we've already reduced that balance to just $168,000 since moving into the building last October!
We're thankful for God's faithfulness and look forward to paying off the remaining balance as quickly as possible so we can continue operating debt-free and be ready for future opportunities to reach even more people with the gospel.
