Special Events

We really, really like to have fun and we love kids so throughout the year we host a variety of activities designed to have tons of fun with our friends, family and neighbors. Below is a partial list of the events we love to host, but there are always new ideas springing up. (If you or your child has an idea - contact us.)

Living Inside Out and Upside Down on Main Street Vacation Bible School

Monday, June 13th - Friday, June 17th from 8:30-11:30AM

Imagine 200 kids 4 years old through sixth grade converging onto New Horizon with excitement in their eyes for a week of singing, dramas, Bible stories, puppets, games, snacks, crafts, and other crazy-exciting fun.

On Main Street, kids will be drawn into stories Jesus told about everyday people in everyday situations. But His stories were anything but ordinary! Jesus turned lives upside down and hearts inside out through parables that challenged people to look at themselves and others in new and unexpected ways.

So come join us on Main Street, for an inside-out, upside-down experience like no other...and let Jesus make a difference in YOU!

Other Special Events Coming Up:

• Sleep Over Saturday
  This is a special weekend for Adventureland kids to invite a friend to spend the night at their own home and enjoy movies, games and food together Saturday night. Then, the next morning, still in their pajamas, attend Adventureland for games, breakfast and a teaching with their friends.
• Summer Splash
  Invite your friends to this splashing good time at Indian Acres Swim Club on Saturday, July 24th from 3-6PM. Possibly the most fun swim party a church can host with a picnic style dinner for you and your whole family. We do require a parent or responsible adult to stay on site for each child. Summer Splash is a free event.
• Dinner and a Movie
  Plenty of hot pepperoni and cheese pizzas wait for you followed by a movie chosen by the elementary Adventureland kids. Bring a pillow and blanket to spread out on the floor or sit in one of our chairs.
• Friend Day
  While every day is a great day to invite a friend to church, this day in particular is designed for both adults and kids to invite their friends. A dynamic speaker, performer or group is invited to speak during the worship experiences followed by a carnival-type party outside for kids of all ages.
• You Can’t Do THAT At Church
  Remember when you were a kid and wanted to do that one thing at school or church you knew was off limits? In Adventureland imagine doing some of those things along with messy games like Cheeto Head in which you wear a shower cap covered in shaving cream and your friend attempt to land as many Cheetos on it as possible. Plastic tarps and old clothes are a must.
• Great October Days
  An alternative to traditional Trick-or-Treating this event allows kids to wear their costumes, play as many games as they can and enjoy more candy than any child should eat in week! Great October Days is held Halloween night each year.
