Christmas Connection

There are so many ways to get the gospel to the community and the world during the Christmas season:

• Angel Tree - Buying Christmas gifts and bringing the gospel to kids who have parents in prison.

• Bus Ministry - Buying Christmas gifts and bringing the gospel to kids who ride the bus to church.

• Operation Christmas Child - These shoebox gifts go to kids in other countries, but they also provide a way for our church to serve together and gather thousands of shoe boxes to send around the world to reach kids with the gospel. We also serve the community by being a Central Drop-Off Location, so that other Churches and organizations can drop off their boxes to be sent to the processing center for shipment around the world.

• Operation Christmas Child Packing Party - We hope to pack 4,000 shoeboxes at our OCC Packing Party this November to help reach our church's goal of packing 8,000+ shoeboxes for 2024. Date TBD.

• Orlies Shoe Drive - Give the gift of a brand new pair of shoes to children in need throughout our comunity. We are able to meet a physical need for the children in Kern County while also meeting their spiritual need through the gospel.
