special events

movies

Up to once a month, we show a Christian movie.
The days and times vary. 

We always gather ahead of time for light refreshment and fellowship.

Keep an eye on our calendar for the next movie.

potluck fellowships

On occasion, we hold a Potluck Fellowship immediately following our Sunday morning church service. The church provides the main course and attendees bring a covered dish.  We enjoy fellowship over a nice meal.  There's always more than enough to go around. 

Keep an eye on our calendar for our potluck.

Agape love fellowship

John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
                                                                                                       ~ Jesus
In February, we have a special event specifically for the purpose of getting to know our brothers and sisters in Christ better.  Aided by guide questions, we rotate through small discussion groups, learning more about each other and strengthening our bonds.

Easter Breakfast

 As we honor the resurrection, we all rise early and gather together on Easter Sunday, before Sunday School, for Easter Breakfast.

Founder's Day

Founder's Day is a celebration in honor of our founder and first pastor, Rev. William A. Cathell, Sr. (May 29, 1030 - May 8, 2019).  We celebrate on the Sunday closest to his birthday.  Right now it is a small church gathering, but we hope to grow Founder's Day into a public event on the scale of our Jesus Festival.

Jesus Festival

The Jesus Festival is our big public event.  First started in 2004, The Jesus Fest is an all day Celebration of Jesus.  Usually held in August, it Includes live entertainment and activities for the whole family.  For more information, visit the page

deck the halls

In honor of Christ and the Christmas season, we gather in early December to "Deck the Halls".  We decorate the inside of the church from top to bottom while we fellowship and celebrate the birth of our lord.  This includes preparing the dining hall for our Christmas party.

Annual Cookie day

Once a year, in December, we gather for cookie baking day.  We make tons of different kinds of cookies.  We share those cookies at our Christmas party.  Those Oreo snowmen are especially yummy!

Evening Concerts

Occasionally, we hold evening concerts.  Regional Christian bands and choirs are invited in to minister through songs and testimonies.  The times and dates of these events vary.  Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming events as they are added to the schedule.
