Compassion Celebration Event
Back in August, our congregation responded with incredible generosity by sponsoring 225 children in Guatemala. Each sponsorship represents a life uplifted, a story renewed, and a beautiful glimpse of God’s kingdom at work.
At this gathering, we’ll share information on our Guatemala church, announce details about our very first mission trip to Guatemala (August 2027), and learn how to deepen your relationship with your sponsored child! You’ll even have the opportunity to write a letter during the event! We’d love to invite you to an upcoming Compassion engagement event for you and your family!

CSM
CSM | Wednesday Nights
Middle School Students will meet from 6pm-8pm.
High School Students will meet from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
This month we are in the series, Pivot, where we will be unpacking stories in scripture where God continually invites people to pivot—adjusting how they think, speak, and respond when their current way isn’t working. As we learn to take responsibility for those shifts, we begin to see how God brings renewal, growth, and transformation when we choose a better direction. This four-week series from the New Testament will show students that God can turn our arrogance into humility, God can turn our cruelty into kindness, God can turn our selfishness into generosity, and God can turn our brokenness into wholeness.
Bring a friend and join us as we worship, read God's Word, and build relationships with one another!
EMPOWER CONFERENCE | OCTOBER 23rd
CSM Middle and High School Students are encouraged to attend Empower, a student event happening on October 23rd at Appleton Alliance Church. This is a FREE event! Learn more HERE.
CSM | GLOW NIGHT
Join us for a Glow Party 6-8pm on Wednesday, October 28th! (High School and Middle School are combined for this night) Wear your best neon and come hangout with friends, play games and worship with us!
