Big Events 

Major holidays and festive events enable us to form relationships with individuals who live in the surrounding areas. The focus of Big Events is to reach out to families of the children that participate in our boys and girls club programs. They are evangelistic celebrations - a time intended for fun and for building a sense of community. Families and children experience a demonstration of the gospel in an atmosphere of love at City on a Hill.
