Pastor Tim

Fusion is on summer break! We will resume in the Fall. For the summer months as a youth group, we will continue to meet for special events and summer trips

It’s time to sign up and commit! The deadline to sign up for our trips this year is Friday, May 13th. Serve Baton Rouge July 11th – July 16th At Serve Baton Rouge, we’re more than a mission trip destination! Our greatest desire is to help the helpers do more, and we do this by bringing in volunteers to our area’s service organizations. This leads to more helping hands, more people served, and a bigger difference made. We will spend half the day leading a sports camp in the morning, while in the afternoons serving the community in a variety of ways. The Great Escape Twin Lakes July 25th – July 30th Swimming, canoeing, kayaking, archery, and on occasion, horseback riding are just a few of the things Twin Lakes offers. Twin Lakes also has a full ropes course and climbing wall! Churches are split into teams and compete through recreational activities all week. Because our activities are a predominant source of fun, our worship and program style is a little simpler than other camps, which allows for students and leaders to really build stronger relationships with Christ first and then each other as they go deeper into their faith. TGE Twin Lakes really feels like you are at summer camp.
