Yesterday Campbell McHenry volunteered to close the service in prayer and stepped out in boldness to lead the church! This is such a testament to the boldness of this entire team and we are so excited to see how the Lord uses their other “yes’s” this week!

Diving in Deep

by Lauren Dorsey | March 12, 2025 12:07 AM

After a long, fulfilling, and joyous day serving at MIFA Meals on Wheels & Memphis Athletic Ministries, the team ended the day with a deep dive into Psalm 63 led by Tyler. They spent time dissecting truths found in the verses, applying them to their lives, and discovering more of God’s character through the Scripture. The students’ desire to know God deeper is truly so beautiful.
