Operation CHRISTmas Child
Operation Christmas Child is more than a gift-giving project, it’s a mission with eternal significance. Each shoebox packed with love becomes an opportunity for a child to hear the Gospel, many for the very first time. These simple gifts open hearts to the message of salvation and the hope found only in Jesus Christ. Through each box, lives can be changed not just for today, but for eternity.

Community Outreach Team
The Community Outreach Team is dedicated to bringing the love of Christ beyond the church walls and into our neighborhoods. Through personal visits, we build meaningful connections with our neighbors, inviting them to church, offering prayer, and sharing the life-changing message of the Gospel.
We also participate in local events and community gatherings, where we hand out gospel tracts, pray with those in need, and encourage others with the hope found in Jesus. Whether it is a doorstep conversation, a moment of prayer at a festival, or simply offering a kind word, our mission is to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.
Interested in joining us? There’s a place for everyone! If knocking on doors feels outside your comfort zone, you can still be a vital part of the team. Some members walk through neighborhoods praying quietly as others engage, while others write personal notes of encouragement and follow-up for those we have visited. Every role matters, and every prayer makes a difference.
Rooted in love, guided by the Spirit, and empowered by prayer, we believe every interaction is a divine opportunity to point someone to Christ. We’d love to have you join us in this important ministry!
Wednesday Evening Meal
Each Wednesday evening, our church family and community come together to share a hot, home-cooked meal before our midweek Bible study and prayer time. The Wednesday Evening Meal is more than just food, it is a time of fellowship, encouragement, and connection for all ages.
Whether you are coming straight from work, bringing the kids from school, or just needing a warm meal and a kind word, you will find a place at the table. Everyone is welcome!
Want to be part of the team? We are always looking for helping hands to prepare food each week. If cooking is not your thing, there are still plenty of ways to serve, like setting up, serving, or helping with cleanup.
We believe that sharing a meal is a powerful way to reflect Christ’s love and build stronger relationships within our church and community. Come hungry and leave filled in every way!
Media Team
The Media Team plays a vital role in creating a smooth and engaging worship experience each Sunday. From setting up media content and managing the livestream to running audio and slides during the service, this team works faithfully behind the scenes to help share the Gospel both in-person and online.
Interested in joining the team? Whether you are tech-savvy or just willing to learn, there is a place for you! We are always looking for volunteers to help with Sunday morning setup, assist with livestream production, or support the flow of worship during the service. Training is provided, and every role makes a difference.
