We aim to continue cultivating a spirit of generosity in our church. 

We are offering several ways to make a difference, ensuring that the joy of giving reaches those who need it most. You can give generously through initiatives like Operation Christmas Child, Giving Tuesday, CarePointe Shoe Drive, and Compassion International. Beyond financial contributions, we invite you to give your time by praying and serving those in need.

Compassion International: February 2025

Compassion International is a Christian humanitarian organization dedicated to ending child poverty through one-on-one sponsorship. By sponsoring a child, you provide access to education, healthcare, and spiritual guidance, giving them hope for a brighter future. Rooted in the belief that Jesus deeply cares for children, Compassion strives to reflect His love by meeting their physical and emotional needs. As followers of Christ, we are called to show compassion to the most vulnerable, offering them the opportunity to break free from the cycle of poverty and experience God's care and provision.
