Upcoming Events october 2025

Join us for these events coming up soon!

Trunk-N-Treat

Wednesday, October 22

Trunk-N-Treat is more than just a fun fall event—it’s a meaningful opportunity for Shawnee Alliance to connect with our community and welcome families who may not normally walk through our doors. We want every guest to experience the love and joy of Christ through friendly faces, warm hospitality, and a night full of fun.

Everyone is welcome to attend! There will be decorated trunks, bounce houses, hot dogs, popcorn, drinks, and of course, plenty of candy. Everything is completely free, so bring your friends and neighbors and enjoy the evening together.

If you signed up to volunteer, please remember to check your email for details! Thank you for helping us create a fun and welcoming space for our community!

LifeWise Movie in Theaters!

Thursday, October 23

On one night only, the LifeWise film, Off School Property: Solving the Separation of Church and State, will be at the Regal American Mall Cinema in Lima!

By the same group that brought you The Chosen, it's an incredible opportunity for us to come together around the LifeWise movement and to introduce new people in our churches and community to what God is doing through this work.

Even if you’ve seen the original version, the theatrical release is brand new and expanded, featuring nearly 30 minutes of new content and powerful impact stories that will inspire and encourage.

Congregational Meeting

Sunday, October 26

You're invited to join us at 6:30 p.m. in the East Campus Sanctuary for our annual congregational meeting. We will elect our 2026 Elders and church officers, vote on the 2026 budget, and discuss the financial health of the church.

Join us as we seek God's will together in prayer as we continue moving forward in serving God and our community!

Live-Action Clue Night

Sunday, October 26

Students in Grades 7-12

Get ready for a night of mystery, competition, and laughs as we head to Lima Baptist Temple for Live Clue—a real-life version of the classic board game with a fun twist. Students will travel in teams through rooms at both Lima Baptist Temple and Temple Christian School, completing challenges and collecting clues to solve the mystery of who did it, with what, and where.

We’ll meet at the church at 4:30 p.m. and return by 10:15 p.m. The cost is just $5 per student and includes the game, pizza, and drinks. You can sign up solo and be grouped, or sign up with 3 friends to create your team! Costumes are encouraged, and there will be prizes for the best group and individual costumes.

Invite your friends, start building your team, and don't forget to register!

Questions or want to help chaperone? Contact Pastor Josh at josh@shawneealliance.com.

Earlier this year, we got to hear from someone who received one of our shoeboxes! Her name is Abby, and she included these pictures when she thanked us for her gift!
Last year, Shawnee Alliance donated a total of 440 shoeboxes! Help us reach our new goal of 750 shoeboxes!

Check out these opportunities to partner with Operation Christmas Child!
