MEN! We invite you to join us every second Saturday of the month for breakfast together, encouragement, and time in God’s Word! We will meet in the City House Cafe from 9:30-11AM.
Our Small Group Fair will be following each service on Sunday, September 20th where you will be able to meet different leaders and find a group that is best for you.

Kids grow, interests change, and sometimes we have more stuff than we know what to do with! Kids Share & Swap is a chance for families to connect, pass along items their kids have outgrown, and find something new-to-them that’s just right for this season.
Families can bring gently used toys, baby items, or a batch of kids’ clothes for ages 0–12 and swap them for something another family has shared. Items should be gently used, clean, usable, complete sets, and ready to be loved again. You can label your items when you arrive with your name, your child’s name, and your contact information so families can connect after the event!
Bring your items: 9–10 AM
Swap & connect: Until 11 AM
This event is an opportunity to connect families of similar age kids. Here are things to know about and how to prepare for Kid's Share & Swap:
The event is intended for swapping items for kids ages 0 through 12 years old.
Bring gently used ("full sets" of) toys or baby items (or even a batch of clothes). Items need to be a usable full set and contained so nothing from the set is separated.
Swap out the number of items you brought for up to that number of other items to take home. Also, feel free to only donate and not take anything home! All items left when the event is over will be donated right after the event.
Families expecting a baby or with an infant only can come take items without donating!
Bring items between 9am & 10am then the event will last until 11am.
Fix the attached label to each donation! Print (1) form for every item. There will also be copies of the form at the event.
Come ready to share, swap, connect, and maybe find a few things your kids will love for FREE!
Child Dedications will take place during our services. If you would like to have your child dedicated, please RSVP at cotfc.com/dedications!
Spiritual growth is the pathway to a full life, and we are prepared to help you experience it. Our small-group environments are designed to help you explore your relationship with Jesus, develop your faith in Jesus, and influence those around you for Jesus. We are currently looking for group leaders, so let us know if you are interested at cotfc.com/groups! We will post groups to sign up as we get closer.

Whether you’ve followed Him for years or are simply curious about faith, this series is an invitation to encounter the life-changing reality of Jesus in a fresh and meaningful way.
