This Is Our Desire For You
We want to see more people engaged in healthy and thriving churches. We believe healthy, thriving churches begin with healthy, thriving families. At Local we want to help you build a life and family that’s rooted in health – spiritually, emotionally, and relationally.
Follow Jesus
Encounter Jesus through weekly worship experiences and daily surrender. Following Jesus is about knowing Him personally, not just knowing about Him or checking religious boxes.
Find Your People
Deepen your faith in biblical community through serving and Bible studies. To find your people we encourage you to join a Bible study or sign up to serve on a team.
Live on Mission
Impact the world through generosity, outreach, and evangelism. Living on mission means participating in local outreach, global missions, and giving generously.
Ministries
For Your Family
A Safe, Loving Place for Kids to Discover Jesus and Grow
Kids Worship
A safe and loving place where kids experience Jesus and grow in their faith. With age-specific teaching, hands-on activities, and small groups, children from birth through 6th grade learn biblical truth they can live out each week in Local Kids.
Serve Days With Kids
Serve Days are a great opportunity for families to serve together. With projects designed for all ages, kids are invited to join in, make a difference, and learn what it means to love and serve others alongside their families.
Parent Resources
We plan all week for the time we have with your child, but our heart is to partner with you every day. Through our monthly parent newsletter, we share upcoming events and ways to stay involved in Local Students, along with occasional updates on what your child is learning and resources to support faith conversations at home.
Kid Faith
KidFaith is a class for parents and children to attend together, designed to help kids understand their faith journey and the significance of baptism. It clearly explains the difference between salvation and baptism while answering common questions for both children and parents.
Sensory Ministry
Our Sensory Room provides a supportive, buddy-style environment where children can engage with the gospel in a way that meets them where they are. Through trusted leaders and sensory supports, kids are encouraged to grow in faith, build confidence, and participate in group experiences as they are able.
A Place Where Students Belong, Grow, and Follow Jesus
Our mission is to lead the next generation to fully follow Jesus. We partner with parents and caregivers to help students take meaningful steps in their faith, supported by equipped and empowered volunteers who are committed to walking alongside them.
Bible Studies
Middle school and high school Bible studies meet during the 9:45 a.m. service and are divided by grade and gender to encourage age-appropriate discussion and meaningful community.
Camps & Retreats
Each year, our middle school and high school students have multiple opportunities to attend camps and retreats designed just for them. These experiences create space for spiritual growth, meaningful relationships, and memorable moments where students connect with God and one another.
Parent Resources

Through our monthly parent newsletter, we share upcoming events and ways to stay involved in Local Students, along with occasional updates on what your child is learning and resources to support faith conversations at home.
A Place Where Adults Connect, Grow, and Follow Jesus Together
Attending church on Sunday morning is an important starting point, but it does not end there. Through Bible studies, serving teams, outreach, baptisms, and men’s and women’s events, we create spaces for adults to grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and live out their purpose together.
Bible Study Groups
Our Bible Study Groups are a key part of living out our vision by creating spaces where adults can grow in God’s Word and build meaningful community. Through groups for men, women, marriages, and families, people are discipled, encouraged, and equipped to follow Jesus more fully and live out their faith together in every season of life.
Gatherings
Throughout the year, we host gatherings designed specifically for men and for women. These events are a great opportunity to build meaningful relationships, grow in your faith, and be encouraged alongside others in our church community.
Pastoral Care
If you’re looking for support, prayer, or guidance, we’re here for you. You can do this by filling out our Care Request Form, and someone from our team will follow up with you. We also offer counseling resources and are happy to help connect you to the right support. If you need to request an officiant for a wedding or a funeral, please fill out this form.
Discovery
Discovery is offered throughout the year through Discovery Nights and Discovery Lunches and is a welcoming way to get connected at Local. Come find your people, learn our mission and vision, and discover how to get involved in the life of our church.

Living On Mission
Serving Our Community & Reaching the Nations
We believe God calls us to serve both our local community and the nations. Through local outreach, we meet practical needs, build relationships, and share the love of Jesus right where we live. Through global missions, we partner with like-minded organizations to bring hope, make disciples, and reach unreached people groups around the world.
Serve Days: Living on Mission by Serving Our Community
Serve Days are an opportunity for our church to step outside the walls and serve our community in practical ways. Each month, teams take on projects such as lawn care, cleaning, and other acts of service that help meet real needs. It’s a simple way to show the love of Jesus and make a meaningful difference right where we live.
Missions: Living On Mission by Taking the Gospel to the Nations
Our Nicaragua mission trip provides an opportunity to serve local communities in meaningful and practical ways. Teams may help lead Mini VBS programs for local communities, schools, or churches, prepare and deliver much-needed food bags to families, spend time with the children at HCN, and assist with construction projects. Throughout the trip, we work alongside local leaders and ministries to meet real needs while sharing the love of Jesus. Each team member’s unique gifts and talents are used in a variety of ways to make a lasting impact.
