Community Calendar

Join Us! Free and fun workshops for the community since January, 2023. No experience necessary. It's fun! Using the principles of improvisation, these workshops/FUNshops help participants destress, release their creativity, improve communication skills, gain confidence, and more! A great additional benefit is finding new friends who will connect you to other fun community activities/groups. Participants come from all walks of life with our ages spanning from mature teens to our sixties, and we all support each other!

There is no fee charged and no registration required. Come when you can, participate as you desire (or just watch), leave when you must. Mature 16-year-olds and older are welcome. Cheap snacks are available. Free, large lighted parking lot.

We are so excited to share that—just in time for Easter—we’ll be launching Saturday services! Twice a month, we’ll gather for worship with those whose work schedules make Sunday mornings difficult.

Our heart is to allow for everyone to worship, grow, and stay connected to the body of Christ—no matter their schedule. We can’t wait to gather together and see what God will do through this new opportunity!
