Operation Christmas Child

October 26 - November 23, 2025 | Both Campuses

Operation Christmas Child brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes and the message of God's unconditional love. Your simple gesture of filling a shoebox with little gifts and necessities can have eternal significance for a child.

Pick up a box to fill in the lobby at each campus beginning Sunday, October 26 (while supplies last) or fill your own. Our collection deadline is Sunday, November 23 at 12:00pm at both campuses. Our goal is to collect 500 boxes (400 boxes at our two campuses and 100 ordered online). 

Advent Sermon Series

Sundays, November 30 - December 24, 2025 | 9:00 and 10:45am | Both Campuses

This Christmas season, we invite you to join us for a special sermon series centered on Advent where we will learn about the Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love found in Jesus Christ. Each week, we’ll reflect on how these gifts shape our faith and point us to the coming of our Savior. Advent is a season of anticipation, where we’ll be reminded that Christ’s light shines brightest in the waiting. The series will culminate during our Christmas Eve Services as we gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus — the fulfillment of every promise and the source of our everlasting hope.
