Transforming the World

Serving those outside of our church is an important tenant of our faith and an integral part of our church life. We believe that how we treat others is viewed by God as how we treat Jesus. We also believe that God can use simple acts to change the world in big ways. We invite you to join us in transforming our community and the world. 

SEASONAL EVENTS

Operation Christmas Child (OCC)

Operation Christmas Child is an international project of Samaritan’s Purse that provides local partners around the world with shoe boxes filled with small toys, hygiene items, and school supplies as a means of reaching out to children in their own communities with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our church is a collection site for boxes as well as an active participant in providing boxes. 

Community Easter Egg Hunt

This annual event is a gift to the community in celebration of Holy Week and Easter. Held the Saturday before Palm Sunday, the hunt takes place at Schnebelt Pond in Greendale. There is no charge and all are welcome. Even a certain bunny has been known to appear!

Open to kids ages 5 and up, this annual 5-day event celebrates God's love in the lives of children. We share a meal, sing, play games, construct crafts, and hear Bible stories.
