The Patch is open daily from 10 am – 7 pm each day starting on the 12th. The Pumpkin Patch is one way we reach out to the community - as well as how we raise money for our Youth and Children’s Ministries. Pumpkins are priced by size and range from $1.00 for small mini pumpkins to $30.00 for our largest pumpkins. We also sell a variety of gourds.

We want our Pumpkin Patch to be a place of opportunity; opportunities for us to get to know folks outside of our church, opportunities for us to share the love of Christ through our actions, and opportunities to show our community that we are a place they can come to that is friendly and inviting.

Bring Your School Group!

Not only do we sell pumpkins during this time, but we also invite school groups, day cares, and other children’s groups to come and learn about pumpkins, read stories about pumpkins, carve a pumpkin, and take pictures in the Patch. We take reservations for school groups to come between 9:30 am and 2 pm Monday - Friday while the Patch is open. Children will learn all about pumpkins and have an opportunity to take home a small pumpkin of their own for $1.00. You can make a reservation for your school group by calling the Church Office at 787-1829.
