Help Us Fill 25 Trunks for Trunk or Treat!

We’re considering a Trunk or Treat at Next Level Church on Thursday, October 29, but we need 25 families, groups, or businesses to host trunks before we can make it happen.

And this Trunk or Treat would have a fun twist: dogs are invited, too! Families could bring their dogs in costume, and participating trunks would have special treats for our four-legged guests alongside candy for the kids.

If you’re willing to decorate a trunk and hand out treats, please fill out our short survey. You can also let us know if your family would attend or if you’d like to donate candy. Your responses will help us decide whether we have enough support to host the event for our church, preschool families, and community.

Dates: September 30 - October 28

Day: Wednesday Nights

Time: 6:30–8:30 PM

Leader: Pastor Christian

Location: Main Auditorium Lobby (we’ll be seated at round tables)

Format: Short teaching + guided table discussions

Over 5 weeks, we’re creating something simple but meaningful: space to slow down, sit around a table, ask real questions, grow in your faith, and learn how to pray for and with each other. No pressure. No pretending. Just honest conversations and genuine community.

Smartphones, social media, and technology are a regular part of our children’s lives. And helping them navigate the digital world can feel overwhelming.

YCI (Youth Commission International) will lead a Digital Stewardship Parent Seminar designed to help parents better understand the challenges and potential dangers young people face online. More importantly, you’ll leave with practical solutions, helpful resources, and greater confidence for guiding your child toward healthier digital habits.

This seminar is for parents, grandparents, caregivers, and anyone passionate about helping the next generation navigate our ever-changing digital world. Join us immediately following the service on Sunday, October 4.

Faith shouldn't feel like a job you're managing. That's the question behind Clay's new book, Managed: Why Your Faith Feels Like Work Instead of Life; a lot of us feel busy doing faith without feeling much life in it, and this book digs into why.

The full book releases January 12 2027, and you can download chapter 1 free right now, no cost, no catch.

This past Sunday, we sat down together as a church family and talked honestly about where Next Level is, what we're facing, and the opportunity in front of us.

There are two things we're asking you to consider:

A one-time gift toward our 2026 budget shortfall, to get us into this new ministry year on solid ground.

A new monthly commitment, ideally $97/month per household, to get our staffing back to a place where we can fully support small groups, discipleship, our students, and the families in this church.

We don't take this lightly, and we're grateful for every one of you who calls this place home.
