Summer at Imago Dei
While the summer is often a time of vacation and rest, at Imago Dei our church desires to continue growing in the way we encounter Jesus, are formed by His presence, and sent on His mission to be the whole gospel to the whole person to the whole world. Community formation takes place during the summer through invitations like our Supper Clubs, Summer Studies, and Service. See below for all the ways you can get involved and join us!

The Imago Kids ministry is a place where kids know they are loved by Jesus and know that Imago Dei is their church. We’re looking for more volunteers to fill in some gaps over the summer.
