Our Annual Rhythms
At Momentum Church, we love creating meaningful rhythms throughout the year that give our church family regular opportunities to gather, celebrate, grow together, and encounter God in meaningful ways.
While exact dates may shift slightly each year, this is what you can typically expect through the seasons.
Momentum Church began meeting in the Blooming Grove Firehall, and we remain thankful for the role the fire department played in our story. Throughout the year, we continue to support the Blooming Grove Fire Department by volunteering at and attending their community pancake breakfasts. It’s a simple but meaningful way for us to stay connected, serve our neighbors, and support an organization that generously welcomed us in our early days as a church.
As the seasons change, we look for meaningful ways to serve our community locally and globally through fun gatherings and generous giving.
During the Christmas season, we gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus and reflect on the hope and peace He brings.During the four weeks leading up to Christmas, we observe Advent together as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus’ birth. Each week focuses on a different theme—Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love—reminding us of the promises of God and the gift of Christ to the world.
These rhythms don’t just happen—they’re made possible by our church family. Throughout the year, you can support these events in a variety of ways:
