Child Dedication
When raising kids, we understand the importance of guiding your children to a fruitful and healthy life. For in Psalms 8:2 says, “Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.”
This is why we invite any parent to bring their child/children to partake in a public statement of faith: that you wish to raise your child under God's grace and wisdom.
Each campus will be hosting this during service on Mother’s Day weekend.
Brothers Breakfast - Freeport

Men's Retreat - Freeport
The Crucible: Building Men of Faith, Focus, and Fire: In the heat of life, true strength is forged.
The Crucible is a call to men ready to step out of distraction and into purpose—where the pressures of life aren't avoided but embraced as the very fire God uses to form fathers, leaders, and men of conviction.
This isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about returning to the basics: grounding yourself in God’s Word, leading your home with clarity, and living with unshakable focus. Like metal refined by fire, this is where men are shaped—stripped of what’s shallow and strengthened for what matters most.
