REGISTER FOR BECOMING AND BELONGING 2025-2026
Becoming and Belonging Discipleship is an exciting opportunity to grow in your faith while building meaningful connections within a loving church community. These small groups are designed to help you become more like Jesus and truly feel a sense of belonging. Through engaging conversations, shared experiences, and mutual encouragement, you’ll find a place where your spiritual journey is supported and celebrated. There are also opportunities to grow as a leader and make a difference in the lives of others. While adults are immersed in Discipleship Groups, children are invited to grow their relationship with Jesus and others at Club 10:14.
Join us Thursday nights for a life-giving journey of spiritual formation as we pursue hope, healing, and wholeness together through the power of the Holy Spirit!

Every Thursday night, children and mentors gather for a meaningful evening filled with connection, fun, and faith. Together, they explore The Big Idea for the upcoming Sunday’s Children’s Church, spend time in prayer, and enjoy games and activities that build trust and friendships. Club 10:14 is designed to help kids grow in their knowledge of The Word, gain confidence in sharing their faith, and experience the love of a Christ-centered community that encourages and supports them every step of the way. |

We are looking for two different shifts of youth and adult helpers:
5:00pm - 5:45pm - Dinner Room Monitor
5:45pm - 7:30pm - Child Mentor
