What's the vibe?

Think family reunion vibes, because you're family to us! There will be an indoor (air conditioned!) and outdoor space for us to grill, play games, and spend time together.

There will be some toasts (speeches) at 7:30 pm.

What else do I need to know?

We will provide drinks and food, just bring your beautiful selves. Feel free to bring board games or yard games if you're interested!

Casual dress code (shorts / t-shirt).

There are bathrooms! See the church details because this is not the case for the whole weekend!

There is a playground and plenty of trails to explore for the little ones.

CHURCH SIZE

The church seats about 200 people comfortably. You are one of 200 people attending! Don't be shy, get to know your neighbors in the pew. 

IMPORTANT: Church Accommodations

Please note that the church does not have running water or indoor restroom facilities. A clean and well-maintained portable restroom will be available onsite for your convenience. Please plan your.. ahem.. bio breaks.. accordingly! 

We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate together in this beautiful setting!

PARKING

There is a small grass parking lot. Feel free to park wherever your wheels and heart can take you! 

Father Dooley has confirmed this is how they typically park for events at this church. You won't hurt the grass's feelings!
