Things to Celebrate
MORE BAPTISMS!
The stories of life change keep coming! Over the last month, we celebrated 5 more people publicly declaring their faith in Jesus through believer’s baptism! That brings us to 25 baptisms this year and more than 370 in the history of The Exchange! Every baptism represents a story of someone exchanging old life for new life in Christ. We never want to take that for granted!

WOMEN'S WEEKEND
On September 18–19, around 90 women from The Exchange gathered at Timber Creek for Women’s Weekend.
It was a meaningful time of building relationships, finding space to rest and enjoy God’s creation, worshiping together, and being reminded of a foundational truth about our identity: we are loved by God. We’re grateful for every woman who participated and every person who helped make the weekend possible.
