Our Core Values | Colossians 3:1-3

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

Winter Retreat 2021 Update:

It is with much thought and consideration from our church leadership and the Youth Ministry Board that due to the rise of COVID-19 cases in our community and state, we feel that in order to keep our students healthy and safe it is our responsibility to cancel Winter Retreat 2021. Everyone will be issued a full refund soon. Fees paid by credit card will be credited back to your card. We are truly sorry that we have to cancel Winter Retreat 2021, but we’re sure that you can understand our position. We are trying to do what is best and safest for our students, their families, and our community, including East Alabama Medical Center and our public and private schools.

If you have any questions about Winter Retreat 2021, please contact Marc Baugh at marcb@aumc.net.
