2024-25 Theme:
Culture tells us to build our lives one way, but Jesus teaches us another—and we do not use tools that are anything like the world’s.
The tools we use are forged by God, equipping us with the knowledge to demolish all strongholds of godless philosophies and self-deception.
Armed with the truth, we can crush every thought that is not of Him as we build a holy foundation on Christ, the eternal Rock.
Theme Verse
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

2023-24 Theme:
Everybody wants to be genuine. To be known as REAL. And yet we are so afraid of the conviction of authenticity that we hide behind makeshift masks and walls and personas that aren’t true or sincere or good.
So as the world around us embraces the evil of self-delusion, we choose to stand firm in the immovable truth of the Word of God, vowing to be genuine unto Christ Jesus. We will not get lost in the wasteland of a counterfeit life; instead, we will choose to GET REAL in the pursuit of holiness.
Theme Verse
Romans 12:21
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

2022-23 THEME
In a world that all-too-often embraces common ends and crippling darkness, we want to be spiritually noble as we shine the light of Christ. This year, our goal is to to preserve morality by looking inwardly at our own faith, just as we seek to spread the Good News of our Savior to our neighbors around us.
Theme Verse
Matthew 5:13-16
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
