Do you want to change the world? It's a big question for many, but most can agree that our hearts are longing to be a part of a life changing and world changing work. God is raising up this generation to be a part of his transformative work in people's lives personally, socially, and spiritually. The 2025 CTG winter conference will teach you about God's life changing work, what it means for you and how you can participate in it. Come to be built up in your faith and worldview alongside your peers on the K-State, KU, Washburn, Baker, UMKC JCCC, and KCCC campuses. Register

As part of the 21 Days of Disruptive Faith, we're leaning into an especially focused time of prayer the week of January 5-10. Consider fasting from food or technology during part of this time, and join us for daily corporate times of prayer:

Sun, January 5 9:15 a.m. KidSpace Room, Bluemont Hotel

Mon, January 6 6 p.m. 2000 Claflin Road

Tues, January 7 12 p.m. 2000 Claflin Road

Wed, January 8 7 a.m. 2000 Claflin Road

Thurs, January 9 12 p.m. 2000 Claflin Road

Fri, January 10 6 p.m. 2000 Claflin Road

Our theme as we begin 2025 is "Disruptive Faith." We want to be readily available when God interrupts our lives. And we want to grow as compassionate and bold disruptors, who leave an impact in the lives of those around us.

Together as a church, we will go through three weeks of personal, daily readings to help stir up disruptive faith in us. An e-mail will come to you each of these mornings with a section of Scripture to read, and an application question or two.

During the middle of this time, from January 5-10 we'll take it up a notch with personal focused prayer and fasting, and a daily corporate prayer gathering.

Let's open up to the ways God wants to disrupt our lives - and others - in 2025!

December also means some changes to our regularly scheduled programming! Be sure to make note that December 22 and 29 Sunday Worship Service will be at 2000 Claflin Road at 10 a.m., with December 29 being followed by a soup potluck lunch. January 5 will be back at the Bluemont Hotel.

Our Christmas Offering this year will go to Shepherd’s Crossing, a local ministry providing financial support and counseling for some of our neighbors in Manhattan. Bluemont already gives a portion of our contributions each month to Shepherd’s Crossing. As the year ends we are excited to have an opportunity to give something extra to help meet practical needs like rent and utilities and medications, and to help people get on a solid financial footing.

All donations to Bluemont are fully tax deductible.

We know how overwhelming life can feel at times. Our experiences, our choices, our fears, our questions and all of the daily stuff can just pile up until God seems far away and impossible to find. But He’s not!

Sometimes though, we have to push back from the daily routine, purposefully encounter Jesus Christ, and allow Him to refocus us. God’s intent is to restore and heal every corner of our souls so that we can live in freedom and participate fully in His plan! Restore is a two-day, one-night retreat for women at the SpringHill Suites in Topeka, KS. Powerful messages and transparent testimonies provide opportunities to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus, receive healing, and see life very differently!

Men's Encounter is a time for men to get away and encounter God, perhaps like never before; a time to consider, give thought to their lives and discover solutions to the unique challenges facing men.

It's important to take the time to step away and gain perspective. Whether you think you have it all figured out or not, you will benefit from attending and you will come home with no regrets. From the time you leave until the time you return, you will have nothing to worry about; all meals, transportation and lodging is included.

As guys, we tend to think next time or next season will be a better time to go, and we put it off, only to find out there really isn't a better time. The time is now for us to become the men we were created to be!

Our group meets at 2000 Claflin Road at 5:00 p.m. on October 18, before hitting the road to meet up with men from other cities at YouthFront Camp outside Edgerton.

Come join us for a weekend at the lake in Branson, MO! We're excited to check out the Branson Strip, hang out with friends and get away from the stresses of class, homework and college life as we build community and camaraderie. Go Cats! 

In conjunction with the Christian music festival PraiseFest that is going on next weekend at CiCo Park, members of numerous area churches are volunteering to prepare pre-packaged meals to send to children around the world through the ministry Feed My Starving Children. This is a way to show God’s love in practical ways towards some of “the least of these,” helping them move from survival mode to thriving.

Two years ago Manhattan believers prepared 100,000 meals - and that is the target this year, too!

To help out, you can go to our website and sign up for a two hour shift this Friday or Saturday. This could be a way for you - perhaps with a friend - to serve in a way that makes a real difference.
