Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is the world’s largest Christmas project that operates year-round to bring the joy of Christmas and hope to over 110 countries. Each year, beginning in October, we will be collecting shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items that are blessed by the love and prayers from our congregation and neighboring churches. Please consider filling a shoebox and bringing it back to the church to start its journey across the globe to reach those who may never experience the Good News of God’s love.

Operation Christmas Child 2025

It's getting to be that time again when we see those green and red shoeboxes showing up around the church. Look for our Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box display in Mission Central over the next few weeks. We will be collecting shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and, most of all - love from our congregation and neighboring churches. These boxes will go out to over 110 countries worldwide and be placed in the hands of children in need.
