Church Family Summer Nights 2026
During the summer months, we’re intentionally creating space for our church family to slow down, spend time together, worship together, and deepen relationships across generations.
Instead of packing every Wednesday full of programs and classes, we want to lean into a simpler rhythm:
more fellowship
more singing
more conversation
more intergenerational connection
more opportunities for teens to grow in leadership
and a little bit of rest for many of our regular teachers and volunteers
Our summer theme is:
Being in God’s Family
Many of our devotionals, discussions, and activities throughout the summer will connect to that theme as we practice what it means to live as the family of God together.
Most evenings will begin at 6:30 with bring-your-own dinner and fellowship downstairs in the fellowship areas or around the fire pit, followed by worship, a devotional, discussion, or activity. The meal and fellowship time will be a brief first part of the evening before we transition into our main gathering together—so even if you don’t want to bring dinner, still come to spend time with your church family.
