An important outreach First Baptist participates in each year is Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse led by Franklin Graham.

The congregation collects and donates school supplies, toiletries, and toys to fill shoeboxes that are distributed around the world in the name of Christ. After months of collections and multiple work projects, the outreach culminates in a shoebox “packing party” enjoyed by the entire congregation.

Our prayer is that we reach needy children and communities with the love of Christ and the Gospel message!
