Outreach

Christian service to others is an overflow of what Jesus Christ has done for us—meeting our greatest need when we needed it most. It is both an act of obedience, a form or worship as well as a sacrifice to bring God's mercy to the world. Here you will find opportunities to use the gifts, talents and time to help the community just outside the church doors.


Pray about getting involved, then join us as we demonstrate the love of Jesus in practical ways.

    How a simple shoebox can change a child’s life


    Through Operation Christmas Child—a global project of Samaritan’s Purse—we have the incredible opportunity to pack gift-filled shoeboxes that deliver joy, hope, and the Good News of the Gospel to children in need around the world. 


    Every year, our church family eagerly participates in this mission. Our annual packing party is coming up on Friday, November 13th—we have about a month to gather the items. Drop off donations on Sunday mornings or anytime you come to church.


    Last year, our church family packed about 500 shoeboxes! Every box can reach a child, their family, friends, and community with the love of Jesus Christ.
