Everyone is invited to our Back-to-School Kickoff on Wednesday, August 5, at 6:30 PM.

We’ll begin the evening in Three Crosses Sanctuary with worship and a brief message from Pastor Allen before praying for God’s blessings over our students, families, teachers, and the school year ahead. Even if you don’t have children, this is a great opportunity to gather together, pray, and support them as they start a new school year.

After service, you’re welcome to explore our classrooms, meet our Next Gen staff and volunteers, and learn more about the faith-building opportunities available to children and students throughout the year.

And don’t forget—there will be free ice cream!

Since all of our children’s ministry spaces will be open to explore, there will be no childcare available during this service.

If your family is new to Next Gen—or you’ve been part of it for years—this is a great opportunity to become familiar with your child’s classroom and connect with the leaders who will be investing in them this year.

Our Back-to-School Kickoff takes place just before Promotion Week, making it the perfect time for children to visit their new classroom and meet their leaders so they know what to expect in the year ahead.
