Things to Celebrate
KIDS CAMP - LAKE FOREST RANCH
Twenty-one elementary kids spent four unforgettable days at Lake Forest Ranch, where they experienced an incredible week filled with recreation, worship, biblical teaching, church group time, and lots of fun.
Most importantly, kids made first-time decisions to follow Jesus! We praise God for the seeds planted and the lives changed during camp. Thank you for praying, serving, and giving so the next generation can experience opportunities like this.
Thank you for your generosity that helped these kids have an unforgettable experience!

MISSION KNOXVILLE
July 17–19, 39 adults and students traveled to Knoxville, Tennessee, to serve our partner church, Radiance Church. This marked the fourth consecutive year The Exchange has sent a team to serve alongside them.
Together, our team helped host a community school supply outreach where nearly 400 backpacks of supplies were distributed to local families. They also completed renovation projects around the church building, served wherever needed, and worshiped with the Radiance Church family on Sunday.
Thank you for your generosity and willingness to give and to go so that more people can experience the hope of Jesus!

BAPTISM
In July, we celebrated the baptism of Logan Beam as he publicly declared his faith in Jesus.
Logan grew up in StudentLIFE at The Exchange and is now a husband and father. Watching God continue His work through every season of Logan's life is a beautiful reminder that the gospel changes lives. Join us in celebrating Logan's story of life change!

Ladies, mark your calendars! Women's Weekend 2026 will be a refreshing getaway filled with worship, community, biblical teaching, meaningful conversations, and time to simply slow down and enjoy God's presence.
This year's theme is Beloved, inspired by themes from Francis Chan's latest book, and we'll gather at Timber Creek in Pulaski, Mississippi, just 45 minutes from The Exchange.
