Decorate a Trunk

Help us make Trunk or Treat a fun and welcoming night for families in our community! We’re looking for volunteers to decorate their trunks and hand out candy on Sunday, October 25.

Get creative with a theme, decorate your vehicle, and come ready to have some fun! Whether you go all-out or keep it simple, every decorated trunk helps create a great experience for the kids and families who join us.

Sign up to decorate a trunk and be part of the fun!

Child Dedication

AT FIRST CHURCH

Child Dedication is a special opportunity for parents to publicly commit to raising their child to know and follow Jesus, surrounded by the encouragement and support of their church family.

This fall, Child Dedications will take place at each of our campuses on the following Sundays:

  • Benton Heights & Eau Claire: November 1
  • Stevensville: November 8
  • St. Joseph: November 15

Parents who would like to dedicate their child are required to attend a Child Dedication Class before the dedication. Classes will be offered Tuesday, October 20 at 6:00 PM and Sunday, October 25 at 12:30 PM at the St. Joseph Campus. You only need to attend one class.

Register today to take this meaningful step with your family!
