    Welcome to God's Big Backyard where kids have a blast serving Jesus.  Children ages 3 - 11, get ready for an outdoor adventure that starts in your own backyard and gets bigger each day as kids take the love of Jesus into their homes, neighborhoods, and communities.  In God's Big Backyard, kids will participate in the large group excitement and experience God's Word at Backyard Bash, meet real life servants at Community Corner, plus explore and create through fun filled crafts at Clothesline Creations.  They'll eat yummy snacks and play cool backyard games at Backyard Food and Fun.  Just step outside, take a look over your fence, and get started helping others discover how much fun they can have serving in God's Big Backyard.  And, they'll be climbing trees when they receive their take home CD of Backyard Bash tunes.  Our doggie mascot, Cooper, is waiting to show you areound the tree house in God's Big Backyard!  We hope you will join the fun.

   This backyard  adventure will take place daily from 9:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M., June 16th – 20th.  Beginning each day with Backyard Bash, our teams will explore Bible stories where Jesus teaches us what it means to serve one another.  Kids will be challenged to serve family, friends, neighbors, community, and Jesus.   

    Your children won’t want to miss the Backyard Bash! Secure their positions in the yard today! Sign up soon by mailing your downloadable registration form.  Or request your registration form by phone at 228-1176.
