A Year at Geist | Events
Events at Geist

Every season has a story.

From the first meal of the new year to cookies with Santa, life at Geist moves with the seasons. Here's a glimpse of the moments that bring us together, one season at a time.

A year in the life of our church

There's always a place for you at the table.

Some of these are big celebrations. Some are quiet days of reflection. All of them are about the same thing: growing closer to God and to one another. Exact dates are shared as each season gets closer.

01
January & February

Winter UP NEXT

A new year starts around the table. We look back with gratitude, look ahead with hope, and find warm ways to care for our neighbors when the weather turns cold.

Mid January

Annual Meeting

Our whole church family gathers for a meal, a look back at what God has done, and a vision for where we're headed next. Your voice matters here. Can't make it? You can join online.

Mud Creek Campus & online
Super Bowl Sunday

Souper Bowl of Caring

While two teams chase a trophy, we tackle hunger. Bring canned goods and help keep our community fed.

Both campuses
Late Winter

Youth Pancake Dinner

Stacks of pancakes for a great cause. Every plate helps send our students out on summer mission trips.

Mud Creek Campus
02
March, April & May

Spring UP NEXT

The tomb is empty and everything comes back to life. Spring at Geist is full of color, from egg hunts on the lawn to a sanctuary ringing with joyful music.

Before Easter

Easter Eggstravaganza

Egg hunts, crafts, games, snacks, and photos with the Easter Bunny. Bring the kids and their biggest baskets.

For all ages
Late Spring

Spring Music Sunday

Our Chancel and Handbell Choirs lead worship with a special work that lifts the whole room. It's one of those Sundays you'll want to invite a friend to.

Mud Creek Campus
Mother's Day

Dessert Auction

Celebrate the amazing women in your life with something sweet. Every bid supports our youth on mission. Your sweet tooth can make a real difference.

Both campuses
03
June, July & August

Summer UP NEXT

The pace slows down and our faith goes on the road. This is the season when everything we raised all year turns into hands and feet serving the world.

All Summer

Youth Mission Trips

Remember those pancakes and desserts? This is where they go. Our students head out near and far to experience God, love others, and serve the world. Then they come home and tell us all about it.

Geist Youth
Sundays

Summer Worship

Come as you are, sandals and all. Summer Sundays are a great time to try us out for the first time.

Both campuses
04
September, October & November

Fall UP NEXT

The leaves turn and we step away for a while. Fall is our season of retreat: time outdoors, time with God, and time with the people walking the road beside us.

Early Fall

Women's Fall Retreat

Whatever season of life you're in, you don't have to walk through it alone. A day of connection, encouragement, and renewed faith.

For women of all ages
October

Men's Fall Hike

Trail boots, fall colors, and good company at one of Indiana's state parks. Serious hikers and casual walkers both welcome.

For the men of Geist
Late October

Men's Retreat

One of our longest running traditions. A full day of fellowship and faith in a barn in the country, standing together with Christ in the middle of creation. Money is never a barrier. Scholarships are always available.

For the men of Geist
Before Halloween

Trick-or-Treat Trail

Costumes, candy, and a safe, spooky walk along the trail. A favorite night for families across the neighborhood.

Promise Road Campus
05
December

Advent & Christmas UP NEXT

We wait, we hope, and we celebrate the light coming into the world. The year ends the way it began: together, with full hearts and probably a few too many cookies.

Early December

Cookies with Santa

Games, crafts, balloon twisters, donuts, and a very special guest from the North Pole. A joyful morning for families and kids of every age.

Promise Road Campus
Early December

Christmas Tea

The final tea party of the year. Fine china, warm scones, and the perfect way to slow down before the holiday rush.

Mud Creek Campus
All Season

Advent & Christmas Worship

Candles, carols, and the old, old story told again. Watch for the full Advent lineup each fall.

Both campuses
All year long

Some things never go out of season.

Alongside the big moments, these gatherings keep showing up all year, keeping us connected in between.

Throughout the year

Women's Tea Parties

Tables of eight, each set by a hostess with her favorite china. Chicken salad, homemade scones with southern cream, and the kind of conversation that turns strangers into friends. Come solo and we'll save you a seat.

Every month

Keenagers

Our seasoned saints never slow down. Monthly outings, meals, and adventures for those who've been around the block a few times and still love the walk.

Every Sunday

Worship at Two Campuses

Mud Creek and Promise Road. One church, two homes, and a seat waiting for you at either one.
