250th Anniversary Celebratory Lecture Series

In Person & Livestreamed from the Performing Arts Center
Join us as we celebrate our nation’s 250th Anniversary with a year-long a series of monthly lectures celebrating God’s miraculous acts during our nation’s fight for Independence. You can view the eleven past lectures here. The final lecture in the series will be on July 26, 2026 at 3:30 p.m.

The Series, God of Our Fathers: Mighty Miracles of the American Revolution, highlights key moments of divine intervention, or miracles that took place in that month during the Revolutionary War—remarkable stories of timely reinforcements, inexplicable weather events, and the unwavering perseverance of the patriots and militias against overwhelming odds are but some of the testimonies of God’s miraculous protection and heavenly guidance on America’s path to independence. The anniversary of the Declaration of Independence provides an opportunity to remember God’s call on this country, reflect on His providential miracles, and recognize those individuals who partnered with Him in securing our nation’s freedom.

George Washington and the Battle of Monongahela

The Battle of the Monongahela in July 1755 launched the military career of young George Washington during the French and Indian War. He fought alongside British General Edward Braddock when the French surprised them in an ambush attack. The British, including General Braddock, were being annihilated. Washington rode back and forth across the battle, delivering Braddock’s orders. Every officer on horseback, except Washington, was shot down. “But by the all-powerful dispensations of Providence, I have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation…” he wrote in a letter to his brother after the battle.
