Together at Dawson

Spring is here! Remember to set your clocks forward one hour on Saturday night, March 11, before you go to sleep.

On March 22, the Collide Choirs will present "Go, Go Jonah," a delightful musical based on the book of Jonah. Join our group of kids as they tour the Museum of the Bible, led by their tour guide, JJ. As they learn about Jonah, we discover the truths about God's love and forgiveness and his desire to turn our hearts torward Him.

College students are invited to join us March 24–25 at Camp Dawson for a spring retreat. When we say "retreat," we mean it! We're working hard to balance both purpose and play, creating an opportunity for deep fellowship and true rest. We're excited to welcome John Woods, Dawson's Music and Worship Pastor, as our worship leader and Kyle Young, Dawson's Hispanic Ministry Associate, to lead our gatherings. The theme for this weekend is ALL NATIONS, ALL PEOPLES. We will talk about God's heart for the nations and how to share the gospel of Jesus in various contexts. The total cost is $30, which includes a T-shirt, 4 meals, overnight lodging, 3 gatherings, and more. Click HERE to register.

At Dawson, we believe church membership matters. That’s why we have created a new opportunity for all new members and guests called Membership Matters. This two-hour class provides a chance for us to share the heart of who Dawson is. We will take a close look at our vision & mission statements, our Doctrinal Foundation, and ongoing discipleship and mission opportunities available for all members to become involved. The next Membership Matters class is Sunday, April 2 from 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Please register HERE. Reservations are required and lunch will be served.
