01 · Operation Christmas Child
Pack a box. Preach the Gospel.
Fill a shoebox with toys, school supplies and everyday essentials for a kid who needs to know they're loved. Samaritan's Purse delivers each box to children around the world, along with the Good News of Jesus.
Grab a friend, your Group or your kids and pack one together!

03 · Serve with our partners
An hour or
an afternoon.
The holidays can be a joyful time, but they can also be a difficult season for many in our community. This is a great opportunity to come alongside our ministry partners, Abide, COPE and Open Door Mission, and show the love of Jesus in practical ways.
We've put together a variety of serving opportunities with each organization so you can find a time and place that works for you. Whether you have an hour or an afternoon, your willingness to show up and serve can make a meaningful impact!
