Fathers Day 2023 is Sunday, June 18!

Back for our third year-- Bigger and Better! Join us at 9am for DonutNV's FRESH, HOT DONUTS and to hear from Adult & Teen Challenge Northern Indiana before we learn with Joy-Filled Parenting experts Chris & Jen Coursey in our 10:15am service. Then during the festival fun outside, wait for iiiiiiiiiiittt: with the help of our friends at Beacon Medical and the Concord Fire Department you'll get to see the Beacon Helicopter land in our yard!!

Have dad take our Proud Dad Challenge* by 10:30am to get his lunch from one of the on site local food trucks on the house (and make an impact in the family right now), then play a round of mini golf, climb into a big truck, chat up a variety of local First Responders, challenge your kids to an inflatable obstacle course race, or peek into a classic car! Did we mention that all dads get to vote on the field of vehicles for the Dad's Choice Trophies?

This is Dadfest!

Yes, it's free.

Yes, the vehicles are legit.

Yes, that food truck had loaded, fresh french fries.

Yes, the bounce houses are big enough for the whole family.

Yes, you can wear your favorite jean shorts with socks and sandals (but just today).

*The Proud Dad Challenge*

By 10:30am on Fathers Day find Pastor Greg and record a short video of yourself sharing 1) your name, 2) that you love your kids, and 3) that you're proud to be their dad. That's it! SO SIMPLE, and yet, somehow SUCH A BIG DEAL.

Bring it on.

10:15a Service Guest Speaker

Chris and Jen Coursey live in West Michigan with their two boys, Matthew and Andrew.

Chris is an ordained pastoral counselor, published author and international speaker. Jen is a teacher, blogger, THRIVE trainer, and synchronized dance instructor. They have designed and lead the THRIVE Training program that uses brain-based exercises to train leaders, families, and communities in the 19 relational skills and the Immanuel Lifestyle.

The 19 relational brain skills and the interactive Immanuel Lifestyle have transformed the Courseys lives. Because of the profound changes in their own character and relationship, they want the world to hear what God has done in their lives and understand what He can do to help others.
