Royal Rangers is back, and we're excited for another great year of faith, fun, and adventure!🛡️

Our boys had a great time kicking off the fall season with plenty of games, laughter, and time together. It's always exciting to see friendships grow while boys learn what it means to follow Jesus and live out their faith.

Royal Rangers is designed to help boys grow spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially through biblical teaching, hands-on activities, outdoor adventures, and mentorship from caring leaders.

If you have a son, grandson, nephew, or know a boy who would enjoy learning about Jesus while having fun and building lasting friendships, we'd love to have him join us!

Come see what Royal Rangers is all about, we're looking forward to another incredible year together!

"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14

We Need Your Help!

As God continues to bring more boys to Royal Rangers, we're looking for additional volunteers to serve alongside this growing ministry. If you have a heart for encouraging the next generation and would like to invest in the lives of young men, we'd love to connect with you.

Please prayerfully consider serving or inviting a young man to join us this fall. We can't wait to see all God has in store this year!

Upcoming Men's Breakfast
Men’s Breakfast: Food, Fellowship, and Faith Men, you're invited to join us for our upcoming Men's Breakfast on August 29th! This is a great opportunity to connect with other men in the church, enjoy a good meal, and grow together in faith. The morning will include breakfast, fellowship, encouragement, games, and time to build meaningful relationships with other men who are seeking to follow Christ. Life can get busy, and it's easy to become isolated. Events like our Men's Breakfast provide a chance to slow down, share life together, and be strengthened through community. Bring a friend, a son, a neighbor, or a coworker and come ready for a relaxed and welcoming morning. We look forward to seeing you there! Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. 📍 Location: The Gathering Church 📅 Date/Time: August 29th | 8:30-10a If you’re interested in helping make food for this event, please reach out to Jim McLain.
