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!
Serve Day
Friday, June 5th
This June, Imago Dei Community will come together with our friends and neighbors at BibleProject for another service day! We will roll up our sleeves and work together on both indoor and outdoor projects to spruce up our space. Projects include working in the Prayer Garden, spreading bark dust, moving kids' classrooms, and more. At 12, we'll conclude our work and eat a delicious meal together! This day will be family friendly, little ones are welcome to come work alongside you.

Supper Clubs
Throughout the Summer
Join us at a Supper Club this Summer! The vision of Supper Clubs is to provide a space for deep, meaningful, and fun connections with our church community over a shared meal. This is a chance to meet new people and enjoy our Imago Dei family. Supper Clubs meet for one evening in small groups around the metro area to share in fellowship together.
Check back for more Supper Clubs added in the coming weeks!
Summer Studies
Throughout the Summer
This summer we invite you to take a class or two with us at Imago Dei's School of Faith and Theology! Our vision is that through creating environments of theological and practical learning that we would explore and be equipped to live into the mystery of the whole gospel of Jesus Christ and grow in biblical literacy.
This summer we'll offer classes focused on reading the New Testament, relationships and marriage, American church history, and more!
