Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a wonderful ministry that has global impact! The boxes are packed, shipped and delivered to children all over the world. These wonderful gifts mean so much to them! When you participate in this worthwhile ministry, you will also be blessed knowing that you are reaching far beyond your typical sphere of influence and making a difference in someone else's life even though you have never met. We invite you to take part in any/all the ways available here at FBC.  

If you would like to pack your own box, please be sure to bring it back to the church by Wednesday, November 12, so we can get them all to the collection center before the national deadline. 

Please include $10 for the shipping cost. If you are going to write a check to cover shipping, please make your check payable to Samaritan's Purse.
