Yesterday morning we had a workday at Building 229, and we are so grateful for the students who showed up to help. For three straight hours they worked hard and accomplished an incredible amount. Together we emptied an entire storage room, organized another storage room that had become a complete mess, sorted New Orleans mission trip supplies, packed the building for next week’s trip to Bigstuf, and completed a variety of other projects around the property. What we appreciate most is...

Yesterday (Sunday) at youth, we had the honor of baptizing 8 students! We are overjoyed that so many people gathered to witness this significant event. There is no greater joy than celebrating new life in Christ! It’s incredible to see how some of those baptized yesterday have journeyed from making a personal decision to follow Jesus to now publicly proclaiming their faith through baptism. This reflects the biblical pattern—belief in Jesus followed by baptism as an outward sign of an...

Youth group was last Sunday! Join us from 12:30–3:00 PM at Building 229 (6th–12th grade). We’ll have pizza, soda, and desserts as we celebrate birthdays from this past month!

They’re now putting that into action—through our recent mission trip to San Francisco,...

Celebrating 8 Years of Building 229! Tomorrow marks the 8th anniversary of Building 229 being gifted to 1NeedNow, Inc. (The Walk Youth Group) by The River Church in Thomasville, GA.
