And we’re looking for lots of grown-ups to help guide kids on the adventure. One caring adult makes a big difference in the life of a child. You can share hope with a child this summer!

ABLE: Hope for the Future. Love for the City.

The next three years are pivotal for our church family and the kingdom impact God is calling us to make. The ABLE initiative is well underway, and we’re excited to keep moving forward together into the bright future He has in store. We’re seeing increased ministry impact in two key ways: we’ve opened the doors to Woodmen Downtown — a church in the heart of the community where God has planted us — and now we’re focused on eliminating all Woodmen debt, maximizing our financial stewardship and freeing us to fully pursue our mission of loving well and changing lives through Christ.
