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!

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.

Thank you...

And a huge thank you to our volunteers who made this sale a success!  

The funds raised support individuals and the community in the Ten Mile, TN area.  This includes scholarships for high school graduates, community breakfasts and dinners, a clothes closet of gently used clothing, a food pantry with non-perishable items, financial assistance, furniture, household goods, student support, angel tree Christmas presents, and holiday food boxes.

Thank you to all who attended our Christmas Music Program on December 14, 2025.  Your presence made the event truly special, and we appreciate your support and enthusiasm.  We hope you enjoyed the performances and shared in the festive spirit with us.
