We don’t think it’s just okay to have fun, we think it should be a priority! Why? Because people who follow Jesus have a lot to celebrate. Jesus gives us some amazing reasons to party. Friendship, belonging, forgiveness, life, purpose. That’s why we believe the Gospel of Jesus is the ultimate good news.
Join us for VBS 2024 and let’s celebrate that good news together! Registration is coming soon. Learn more below.

We know that it can be so easy to miss out on attending church because of the inconveniences that arise as a student. In 2016 we realized that many of our students were seeking rides to and from MUN campus each Sunday, so we have been providing a bus to help students attend the 11:00 AM service ever since.
This is a free transportation service for students/families/individuals who live near or on Memorial Campus.

Once you have the app installed, please log in using the same info you would if you've registered for attending church in-person this past year.
Please take a few minutes to ensure your profile and family information are fully updated. For example, add your birthdates, address, etc.* This is especially helpful to our team in contacting and serving you.
