From Our Campus Minister
Hopefully you were here this past Sunday. And if you were not, you missed a celebration of what God is doing through the Now Generation!
We had a great time of worship as students served in Guest Services, café, and helped with announcements. Having the kids come in to lead us in the song “I Thank God” was fantastic. I wish I could bottle that energy! God is good and He is doing something special in and through our Kids & Student Ministry Teams. I am always looking forward to seeing how God will use our young people for His glory.
And speaking of looking forward…with summer break upon us there is always opportunity to get further connected to God through the different ways we can know Him better.
- Mission Northwest for Students: June 2-6
- Vacation Bible School: June 15-18
- Summer Series in Worship Services: The Gospel According to Isaiah
- Multiply Groups & Life Groups start all the time!
If any of the above bullet points interest you, reach out to the team or click on one of the tabs below for more information. (Especially Mission NW & VBS)
And one more exciting thing to share, because I am looking forward to it, is the church reading plan that we will all begin in the fall. It is very exciting to think that in the fall, the whole church will be reading through the New Testament together for the next year! The leadership and Campus Pastors are all excited about the fact that our sermons will align with where we are reading each week as a church. What that means is that every area of ministry, kids, students, & Life Groups will be on the same reading plan. That will allow for conversations about God’s word to take place amongst all generations in our church as everyone will be on the same track through the bible. I am so thankful that the Lord has led us to do this as a church and I look forward to seeing and being a part of the fruit of what the Holy Spirit will do!

Hey Friends,
Summer is almost here, and I can’t believe it! We are wrapping up the school year and getting ready to jump right in. If your house is anything like mine, it feels like we are crossing the finish line and sprinting straight into all things summer.
Thankfully, my family loves this season. We love the slower mornings, later bedtimes, and full days spent outside. You can usually find us at the beach, playing football in our neighborhood, or just being together in ways that feel a little less scheduled. It is one of my favorite times of year because it naturally creates more space for connection if we let it.
As a mom, I am always looking for fun and meaningful things for my kids to be part of. If you are anything like me, I wanted to take a moment to share about something your family will not want to miss.
VBS is happening June 15–18 from 6–8 p.m. right here at Bluewater Bay!
It is going to be an incredible few nights filled with learning about God, worshipping together, playing games, creating fun crafts, and building friendships. Our team has been working hard to create an environment where your kids feel known, have fun, and grow in their faith.
And honestly, one of my favorite parts of VBS is the connection it creates. Not just for kids, but for families, leaders, and our entire church!
Summer can easily become a season where we drift from rhythms and community, but it can also be a season where we lean in. Where we show up, build relationships, and create moments that point our kids back to Jesus.
And the truth is, VBS does not happen without amazing people like you. Whether you have kids attending or not, we would love for you to be part of it. If you are interested in helping, I would love to hear from you. Whether you enjoy being with kids, serving behind the scenes, or want to be part of something meaningful, we have a place for you.
To register to serve, visit HERE!
Events like this are some of my favorite things I have the opportunity to do in ministry, and I cannot wait to experience VBS together.
PS, don’t wait to register your kids! We fill up every year, and I fully expect that to be true again this summer.
To register, visit HERE!
If you have questions, feel free to reach out & know that I am praying for you and your family as we head into the summer months.
