Events

Child Dedication is a powerful time for you, as parents, to embrace the responsibility you’ve been given by God and to catch a vision of the impact you can make in your child’s life...as well as to celebrate that you don't have to do it alone! We invite families with children ages 0-4 years to participate in our Child Dedication event on Mother's Day, May 11th. If you have a new infant or are new to our Venture family with children in this age range, we'd like to honor your family's commitment on stage, so please register to join us during either the 9:30a or 11a service. The deadline to sign up is May 4.
