Children's Worship Incentive Program
—
We are excited to introduce a new incentive program designed to encourage our children to joyfully attend Sunday Worship Class and invite their friends. Our goal is to help children grow in faith, build friendships, and feel excited about coming to church each week - all while learning more about God's love in a fun and welcoming environment.
Each Sunday, children will earn raffle tickets by attending class. The raffle tickets will be entered into drawings for special prizes to be awarded the weekend after Easter. Children who bring a friend will earn extra raffle tickets, and their guests will also receive a ticket as a warm welcome. We look forward to seeing our classrooms filled with smiling faces, growing faith, and joyful hearts!

PAST EVENTS
—
"SOULED OUT" Youth Retreat is a Wrap and Jesus is Written on Our Hearts
The Luminary Youth had a blessed and God-moving retreat under the guidance of Pastor David and Ms. Denise. Surrounded by kids their own age and God, they were phenomenal examples of their community. Their journey brought them closer to one another and to their Savior, Jesus Christ. The youth enjoyed their accommodations, the soul-stirring music, and celebrated when three of the youth took life-changing steps to get even closer to Jesus.
Thank you for the congregation's generosity, and a special shout out to Marcia and Brian for being rock solid chaperones. The Youth are blessed in so many ways!
Ladies' Day 2025 -
"The Woman God Sees"
—
Luminary Church was proud to present a powerful and uplifting day to celebrate the amazing women God sees. Gust Speaker Lorrie Bamford led attendees in a meaningful and entertaining discussion about how we view ourselves, and how God sees us.
We enjoyed a delicious lunch (served by some handsome men of Luminary), engaging breakout sessions, shopping with vendors, and the uplifting voices of Our Girls.
