Future Now Sunday celebrates what God is doing in the next generation—highlighting stories of life change from our Junior High and High School students, especially through their Summer Camp experiences. It’s a glimpse of the church not just as it will be someday, but as it is right now—alive, growing, and being formed in Jesus. Junior and Senior High School students will be joining us in big church along with their parents on October 4.

Abortion is something many carry quietly, often for years, without a place to process the grief or pain that can follow. Deeper Still is a free, confidential retreat for women and men who have had an abortion in their past, offering a weekend to be honest about what you've carried and find healing in Jesus.
Upcoming retreat: October 9-11, 2026, at East Bay Camp.
