Everyone Communicates, but in 2025, Connection is the Real Currency of Leadership!

Join us on Saturday, August 9, 2025 | 8am - 1pm

Whether you’re leading a team, managing clients, or making an impact in your community, the ability to connect deeply and authentically sets great communicators apart. 

**Back by demand and reimagined for even greater impact, The Art of Communication Masterclass returns with brand-new content, fresh insights, and a powerful hands-on experience that goes far beyond theory.

This isn’t a lecture—it’s a full-on activation. You’ll learn it, live it, and lead it—right there in the room. You’ll take the stage, step in front of the camera, and put what you’ve learned into immediate action, all in a supportive, growth-focused environment. 

Join Ryan Himmel, Communicator Extraordinaire, and Neal Hopson, John Maxwell Leadership Certified Speaker, as they guide you through the same strategies they’ve used to inspire global audiences and transform lives. And joining us will be JoyFM's radio personality, Kim Underwood. You’ll leave equipped with real-world tools you can apply instantly—and the confidence to use them effectively.

Whether you attended last year or this is your first time, get ready for something new, immersive, and transformational. 

• Don’t just communicate—connect.
• Don’t just learn—lead.
• Don’t just take notes—take the mic. 

Special student rate: Just $15 for attendees age 18 and under. Register your student here.

Baptism is your natural next action after becoming a Christ follower. Getting baptized is simply a public declaration of your faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. The act of being baptized tells those around you that the sins of your past have been washed clean and you are showing that your life is based on Jesus Christ. Baptism is on Sunday, October 12, 2025 at the start of the 11am service at the main campus.

We believe in the next generation! Dedicating your children is a public declaration you are committing to raising your children with Christian values. Our next Baby Dedication will be on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at 10:15am in the main auditorium. After the ceremony, we invite you and your family and friends to join us for a reception, along with photo ops in our Dream Team Central. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate, connect, and enjoy light refreshments together.

Please register by Monday, October 6, 2025.
