Winter YG Retreat (12/29-31)
We had an amazing Winter Youth Retreat, joining together with Crystal, Hanbit, Harmony, NYKEC, and Zion! Praise God for a powerful time of worship, Word, and prayer.
A huge thank you to Rev. Isaac Jun and the praise team, Rachel for her inspiring testimony, MJ for the Bible overview and Q&A, and all the teachers who joined us! This retreat wouldn’t have been possible without each of you. Your dedication helped make this a truly unforgettable experience for our youth.
Operation Christmas Child: National Collection Week (11/17-24)
In partnership with Operation Christmas Child, we are thrilled to share that our site collected 5,333 boxes this season! As a national collection site, we are grateful to see how God moved through local churches, schools, scouts, families, and individuals to make this possible. Thank you to everyone who gave, packed, and prayed. You’ve helped share the joy of Christmas with children around the world!

Hallelujah Day (10/26)
We had a wonderful Hallelujah Day celebrating all that fall has to offer! The kids had a great time enjoying mini games, snacks, and their very first game truck experience. Thank you to our Sunday School Ministry team and all the amazing volunteers who supported the family fun and made the day so special.
We were also blessed by local families and neighbors who came out, joined the fun, and enjoyed the celebration while learning about Operation Christmas Child and getting to know more about our church!
Apple Picking (9/27)
We had a great time apple picking at Harbes Farms Jamesport! Delicious turkey legs and corn, a fun corn maze, and of course amazing Honesycrisp apples. Glad to bring back apple donuts for the whole church!
Sports Day (9/1)
We had an amazing time filled with BBQ, fun games, prizes, and wonderful fellowship. It was the perfect way to celebrate our hard work, enjoy some summer fun, and take a well deserved break from a busy year.
Thank you to everyone who came out and made the day so special.
Summer Retreats (August)
This summer, we were blessed to have two retreats. The youth retreat, held jointly with Crystal, KECLI and Hanbit churches, had the theme Follow Me and was an amazing experience filled with great teaching, small groups, fellowship and growth.
The adult retreat focused on the theme Becoming a Family on Mission, featuring guest speaker Dr. Ron Walborn. It was inspiring, uplifting, and a wonderful time of connection.
Praise God for the opportunities to grow, learn, heal, and celebrate together as a community.
Mission Celebration (7/27)
We had a beautiful Mission Celebration joint worship service with our English, Korean, and Chinese ministries, celebrating God’s work with our partners at No Longer Strangers Refugee Ministry in Dayton. Check below for the highlight video, testimony, and our surprise Mission Awards.
Mission Trip (6/28 - 7/4)
This year, we’re a team of 20 heading to Dayton with many first-timers stepping out in faith and several returning who’ve seen God move in powerful ways. We’ll be spending the week with Congolese children and their families, many of whom have come from war-torn countries. Our days will be filled with teaching on the Fruit of the Spirit, Bible stories, fun activities, physical activities, ballet and dance, arts & crafts, puppet shows, and praise songs. Please join us in the mission as senders and intercessors.
College Students and Mission Team Sendoff (6/22)
