At Spotswood, we want to give you every opportunity to love our city and shine a Gospel light where you live, work, and play.
This year, we have 2 options – and we hope you’ll take advantage of BOTH!
1) LoveFXBG Trunk or Treat
October 29 • 4-6p • Spotswood Parking Lot • FREE
Join us for TRUNK or TREAT this year at Spotswood! We’ll have cars decked out in fun themes, plenty of candy, Poppin Jon’s Kettle Corn, and a touch-a-truck element!
To pull this off, we’re going to need a few things:
• Cars (50-100) – Register below!
• Candy – We are asking all who register a car to provide candy for their car
(perhaps with the help of their connect group or friends), but we’ll also collect candy to supplement!
Candy donations can be placed in the LoveFXBG Halloween bins around campus!
• Help us spread the word to your friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors!
(on social media, word of mouth, or using our invites available at the Next Steps Station!)

To attend, no registration is necessary.
Registration for CARS is open! Just click below.
Frequently Asked Questions
We are expecting parking to be limited, if possible, please carpool to the event so we can save as many parking spaces as we can for the community.
Set up will begin at 2P. Please check in at the check-in table before setting up your trunk.
This is a fun family-friendly community outreach event. Please do not choose a theme that is too scary or dark for young families.
Each trunk will have 2 parking spaces.
Please, no games. The event runs from 4-6P, and we want to keep the line moving as much as possible.
We do ask each trunk to supply candy for the duration of the event. There is no way to know how many people from the community will attend. We expect a steady flow of children and families for the entire event, so please plan accordingly. If for some reason you do run out, we will have a limited amount of extra to share.
Please give out only prepackaged store-bought candy.
Pastor Drew will be giving out an informational about the church and all that we have to offer at the end of the trunk or treat. Pastor Drew’s car is the last car before families will exit the event.
Each trunk will be assigned a parking space with a specific number closer to the event. An email with your trunk number and a map will be sent to each participant prior to the event. Spot location will be based on order of registration and staff discretion.
The time of the event is 4-6P. Please begin packing up your trunk at 6P. Sunset is scheduled for 6:14P on October 29, 2023.
There will not be a rain date if we need to cancel for extreme weather.

2) Being out front or Banding with friends
On Halloween night, we’ll be out front of our homes – either with our families or with friends – engaging with neighbors, passing out candy, serving hot drinks, having Gospel conversations, and inviting them to Spotswood!
