Operation Christmas Child

Discover More & Get Involved!

We are proud to partner with Operation Christmas Child, to connect children and their families around the world with a local church where they can find community and discover faith in Jesus.   


There are several ways to get involved with Operation Christmas Child: 

  • Pray.  Ask God to use these shoeboxes in powerful ways to impact families and connect them to local churches around the world.  
  • Pack a shoebox.  We have empty boxes available in the atrium. Pick one up and fill it with gifts for a child.  Boxes must be returned no later than Sunday, November 23.  
  • Pack a shoebox online.  The button below will take you to a website that lets you pack a shoebox virtually.  These boxes go to some of the most remote and least reached kids on the planet.

Looking for more ways to get involved? It takes a massive number of volunteer hours to prepare the boxes for shipping and there are many ways you can help. We need help greeting, praying for shoeboxes, receiving the boxes, and packing them into cartons. If you are interested in helping, please click the link below and let us know.
