Thank you to the great group of guys from East Martin Christian Reformed Church. We appreciate your help!

Dana recently stepped into the role of Early Childhood Coordinator. She is passionate about helping children in ministry families develop healthy coping tools in a safe, nurturing environment rooted in the love of Christ.

Amy recently joined the team as the Hospitality Coordinator. She is passionate about creating spaces where every person feels welcome, seen, and heard.

Our first Reset retreat at Pine Lake this month was a meaningful time of rest, reflection, and renewal for ministry leaders.

Participants reconnected with what brings them life and began establishing healthy rhythms for the season ahead. We're grateful for how God met each one and for the ways their ministries will be impacted as they return.

A special thank-you to our team for making this retreat possible. So many people contributed to bringing the final details together—we couldn't have done it without you!
