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.
