What’s Happening?
There is a lot going on at this church- check out some of the things coming up!
The Secret Garden
Experience The Secret Garden, a Tony Award–winning musical filled with mystery, hope, and the healing power of nature. This is a family- friendly show with some darker themes, including parent loss. With sweeping music, moving characters, and a message that touches all ages, this production is FREE in the sanctuary—seating is first-come, first-served, but we do ask that you register so we can plan for you. Donations are welcome.
