J.A.M (Jesus and me)

J.A.M. (Jesus and me) is a midweek experience that will bring Jesus to life for children K-4th grade while they participate in an exciting time of music, drama, Bible learning, journaling, and games.  J.A.M. (Jesus and Me) takes place from 6:15-7:45 PM during the school year, September - May. Enter through the lower doors off of the Middle School fields and check in at the end of the hall.


A Wednesday night drop-in supper is also available most weeks for the whole family at $2/person (family max $10).  Just come to the gym between 5-6pm on nights that we have these Wednesday night activities.
