What is Exhale?

Is it a conference?, Is it a missions trip?, Is it a concert?...YES! For years, we as Christians have “inhaled” the gospel, and that’s good. But we have not spent as much time “exhaling”.
The Exhale conference is a Friday night to Sunday morning event that focuses on reaching out, breathing out if you will, to our communities rather than only taking things in for ourselves.

 

Here’s how it will work:

We will come together for worship on Friday night and we will unveil our mission for the next day. It might be to renovate a school or even a city block!
On Saturday, everyone at the conference will spend all day working on that project together -- sort of like our own extreme home makeover! On Saturday night, we'll come back to the conference for a concert & some late night fun to celebrate the day. On Sunday morning, we’ll end with a commissioning service and encourage students to go back and make a difference in their own communities. Exhale is not only about taking in. It's about giving out!

SportsTowne Activities

- Football / Soccer Arena – this indoor field was used for practice by our local Arena football team. It has professional turf lined off for football & also has soccer goals at the end of each end zone for those who would rather play soccer

- Basketball courts – the center arena of our facility has 2 full court basketball courts.

- Volleyball – the “hockey arena” is rarely used for hockey. It is used it for volleyball, basketball, our blow up obstacle course, and it serves as the church’s youth center.

*We provide all of the balls and equipment needed, so you don’t have to bring anything with you.

- Blow up obstacle course – teens of all ages love this addition to our facility!

- Snack Bar – on the upstairs level of our building you’ll find a snack bar with reasonably priced items such as pizza, popcorn, hotdogs, candy, chips, energy drinks, & sodas.
