God is at work through
Operation Christmas Child!

Operation Christmas Child is BACK! Share the Gift of Jesus with Children Worldwide!

We are thrilled to once again partner with Samaritan’s Purse for Operation Christmas Child 2025, a global outreach that allows us to pack shoeboxes filled with gifts and essentials, bringing joy and the message of the Gospel to children in remote parts of the world. You can pick-up your shoebox starting Sunday, Oct. 26!

What is Operation Christmas Child?

Operation Christmas Child sends shoeboxes packed with love to children in need, helping local churches worldwide share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Every shoebox provides an opportunity for a child to hear about God’s Greatest Gift, Jesus. Many children who receive a shoebox will continue to grow in their faith through a discipleship program called “The Greatest Journey,” where they learn how to share the message of Jesus with their families and friends.

How You Can Get Involved:

Pick up a shoebox on Sunday starting Oct. 26.

Pack it with love – include gifts, school supplies, hygiene items, and your prayers.

Return your filled box by second week of November.

Last year, Christ Journey packed over 2,000 boxes! Let’s continue making an impact by participating in this year’s campaign.
