The collection of School Supplies, Donations, Pack Attack Set-up, Pack Attack, and the distribution of the school supply bags and the gospel are still a go, and we need volunteers to make this happen!

Canceled: Summer of Camp (6th-12th Grades)

We are also continuing to provide online content for those of you who choose to stay home. All of our online content and sermons can be found on cottonwoodstudents.com.
Please note that we will continue to have 6th-12th Grade Youth Services in the Gym on Sundays at 9:00a and 11:00a because we are able to do those socially distanced.
