Co-Mission Camp 2025: Youth Serving in Love, Growing in Faith, and Living on Mission

This past week, The Church at Litchfield Park had the joy of walking alongside 46 youth during our annual Co-Mission Camp, a week designed to cultivate servant-hearted leadership, Christ-centered identity, and missional living. With the support of dozens of dedicated volunteers, our young people spent five meaningful days growing in faith, serving others with love, and engaging in God's mission right here in our community.

From packing meals at Feed My Starving Children, to preparing lunches, sewing pillows, crafting walker caddies, and assembling hygiene kits for local organizations, our students lived out 1 Peter 4:10—using their gifts to serve others. They worshiped together, reflected on Scripture, and were challenged to consider what it means to follow Jesus through quiet acts of compassion and bold steps of obedience.

The week concluded with a sanctuary clean-up project, brunch celebration, and a special visit from Bob Solis, founder of Open Arms, reminding us all that greatness is found in the little things—perseverance, faithfulness, and choosing to serve even when no one is watching.

Thank you to every parent, volunteer, and supporter who prayed, showed up, led, cleaned, cooked, encouraged, and helped make this week possible. You played a vital role in equipping our students to become servant leaders with missional mindsets.

We are grateful—and excited to see how God continues to use this next generation for His glory!

Faith & Family Night, presented by Chick-fil-A, returns to Chase Field on Friday, August 8 when the D-backs host the Colorado Rockies. This year’s event will be headlined by a postgame concert from 10-time Grammy-nominated artist Tauren Wells!

Please join the Arizona Diamondbacks for a night of baseball, fellowship, and music. Come out and support your D-backs as we take on the NL West rival Rockies.

Annually, we host hundreds of churches and Christian-based groups from all over Arizona at this event. Faith & Family Night is the best way for church members, friends, family, and music fans to enjoy a D-backs game!

Homework:  We changed our devotional time to someone different each month. The devotion leader can select from The Upper Room or from something else they'd like to share.  Each month we'll put the names in a dish and draw for the following month - two names for our usual two tables. Thought it would be fun to share this task and learn from one another. July devotional leaders are: Sue Salem and Betsy Sitch

As part of our commitment to walking together in faith, fellowship, and service, we are conducting a membership review and check-in. An email will soon be sent to everyone currently listed as an Active Member of The Church at Litchfield Park. This is a normal part of congregational life that we carry out every 3 years. It helps us stay connected, care well for our members, and maintain the integrity of our church records.

Because we are a congregational-led church, membership matters. Many of our most important decisions—including votes for leadership and approval of budgets—depend on the participation of Active Members. This review ensures that our membership list accurately reflects those who are actively engaged in the life and mission of the church.

Please click on this link to confirm or update your membership status. 

If you’ve been attending as a visitor or friend of the church, this may be a wonderful time to consider taking the next step toward membership. We would be blessed to continue this journey with you—and welcome you more fully into the life of the church.

We are grateful for each person who calls The Church at Litchfield Park home. Thank you for being part of our growing and faithful community.
