The Purpose of Outreach Ministry:
To connect with people who are disconnected from God in our neighborhoods, in our city, in our nation, and in our world
Every shoebox is an opportunity to reach a child with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
NATIONAL COLLECTION WEEK: NOVEMBER 16–23, 2020
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Now more than ever, children around the world need hope. See below for several ways to get involved in Operation Christmas Child this year:
TRADITIONAL OPTION: Fill-up & Drop-off a Shoebox
Shoeboxes Due by November 23, 2020
Bless a child this Christmas with a gift-filled shoebox that is also an opportunity for them to hear the Gospel! Simply fill a shoebox with gifts and return it to the church lobby by Monday, November 23, and we'll take it from there.
Empty shoeboxes will be available for pick-up in the church lobby beginning Sunday, October 25, or you can use your own.
