Back to School Bash – Paint Wars

Get ready for an unforgettable start to the school year with games, laughter, and something you’ve probably never done before: a paint battle. Wear a white shirt you can get messy, bring your friends, and prepare for a lot of paint and a whole lot of fun.

Before the paint flies, we’ll gather for worship and open God’s Word. It’s a time to pause, refocus, and remember that He is with us in every moment. We’ll encourage one another, pray together, and step into this new school year with hope.

Then the celebration begins. Outside, we’ll let loose with wild paint battles, more games, and time to connect with new friends. This is your chance to start the year with joy, community, and a reminder of what matters most.

Yes, absolutely.

How will I get in the car afterward?
We’ll spray everyone down at the end of the night with a hose. Bringing a towel or change of clothes is a great idea.
