Baptism Celebration Weekend
October 3rd & 4th
All Services
In our ‘We the Church’ series, all throughout the book of Acts we hear the response of baptism. We invite you to engage in this form of response on October 3rd or 4th, whether you want to be baptized for the first time, or would like to reaffirm or remember your baptism. We hope you'll begin praying about it and take part. Click here to learn more.
Volunteer Central
Before/After Services
Community Center
Throughout the We The Church series, we’ve been learning about what it means to live as the body of Christ and how the church is more than a few people doing everything—it is every believer serving together under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
Your gifts matter, your service matters, and there is a place for you in God’s mission at Thanksgiving. Stop by the new Volunteer Central in the Community Center to find your part and explore the wide array of ministry opportunities available at Thanksgiving!
What began with a prayer for “what’s next” is becoming a reality. The new Community Center is already becoming a place where people gather, connect, worship, and build community. And we’re only beginning to see how God will use this building to serve our church and our community.
Now, as construction comes to a close, we have an opportunity to take one more step together: fully equipping these new spaces for ministry.
Learn more about the NEXT Refresh and how you can participate here.
