Children often enter foster care with very little to call their own. Through our Christmas for the Kids program, we help children have a Merry Christmas every year by fulfilling their wish lists. By the time Christmas 2024 arrived, we had fulfilled wish lists for more than 1,897 children.
At Christmas time, you can help make a child’s Christmas special by shopping for a child or by donating toys and clothing. We have several ways to do it, and they’re all easy!
Get an Ornament
We will have a Christmas tree with ornaments at the Rock in the foyer. Each ornament has one gift written on it for a child. Buy the gift and return the gift and ornament to the location you picked it up from. It’s that simple!

International Mission Trips
We desire to encourage and equip people to go and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 18:19), both in our community and around the world! One of the ways we practically do this globally is by offering Team Trips.
Team Trips are usually week-long experiences where we share the love and hope of Christ by meeting physical, spiritual, and relational needs. Our short-term Team Trips partner with established organizations and long-term missionaries, joining alongside the ongoing transformation taking place, resulting in life change for those being served and in those serving!
