Homecoming Sunday

Come home. Reconnect. Begin a new season of faith.

Join us for Homecoming Sunday as we launch our new fall sermon series, Love Boldly. Serve Joyfully. Lead Courageously. A United Methodist Way of Life.

As we gather for worship, we’ll begin exploring what it means to live out our faith with courage, compassion, and purpose. Whether you’ve been part of our church family for years or you’re visiting for the first time, Homecoming Sunday is an opportunity to rediscover what God is doing in and through our church.

 

Following worship, stay for a church-wide celebration featuring lunch, ministry information, and opportunities to connect with leaders and volunteers as we kick off our fall programs. From Bible studies and small groups to children’s, youth, and adult ministries, you’ll have the chance to learn how you can grow, serve, and find your place in the life of the church.

This fall, we invite you to take the next step in your faith as we seek to love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously—together.

We can’t wait to welcome you home.

Social Media 101: Church Communications Workshop
Social Media 101: Church Communications Workshop
Church communication is about much more than social media. From Facebook posts and emails to bulletins, newsletters, flyers, and other print materials, every piece helps tell the story of who we are and keeps our church and community connected.
Social Media 101 is designed for both church members and church communicators who want to better understand the “why” behind church communication.
We’ll explore how social media, email, bulletins, and print work together; what makes communication effective; how church members can help extend our reach; and why privacy, permission, timing, and knowing the right information all matter when deciding what—and what not—to communicate.
Whether you help manage church communications, volunteer with a ministry, want to better support your church online, or have ever wondered, “Why didn’t we share that?”—this conversation is for you.
No communications expertise required. Bring your questions and curiosity, and come learn more about how we tell our church’s story—together.
