We love to participate in Samaritan's Purse "Operation Christmas Child Shoebox" campaigns. Each year, our church, along with our Awana program, partners with Samaritan’s Purse to pack boxes to bless children in need around the world. We collected 213 for 2023. Praise God!
Each month has a different emphasis. Please refer to the list below. Items can be dropped off in the designated barrels in the Kids' Welcome Center and in the hallway outside of the sanctuary near the restrooms.
Here is a list of items to donate for Operation Christmas Child for the “item of the month.” However, if you see an item at a bargain price, grab it.
Thank you for your efforts each month to purchase items to benefit children around the world!

Send the Gospel to the Ends of the Earth Without Leaving Home
Shoebox gifts built online go to the ends of the earth to children in some of the hardest-to-reach places—whether deep jungles, city slums, steep mountainsides, or one of 1,000 remote Pacific islands. Many of these areas are resistant to the Gospel, for cultural or religious reasons, and are home to numerous unreached people groups, some of whom have never heard the Name of Jesus Christ.
When you Build a Shoebox Online, it provides believers in remote regions a creative way to share the Good News in a culturally sensitive manner. Online boxes are carefully prepared, abiding by strict customs regulations to safeguard partners who will deliver the gifts, as well as the boys and girls who receive them. Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19). Help fulfill the Great Commission and take the Gospel to the ends of the earth by building a shoebox online today!
