CCF volunteers with a large stack of Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes

Serving children around the world

Operation Christmas Child

Every shoebox is packed with practical gifts, loving care, and the hope of Jesus.

A ministry for every generation

A simple box.
A lasting message.

Operation Christmas Child gives our church family a hands-on way to share Christ's love with children around the world.

Throughout the year, people of all ages at CCF help prepare, fill, organize, and send shoebox gifts. It is a joyful project that brings generations together in service and prayer.

How CCF takes part

From our hands to theirs

  1. 01

    Prepare

    We gather useful gifts and assemble the colorful shoeboxes that will carry them.

  2. 02

    Pack

    Children and adults work side by side to fill and organize each box with care.

  3. 03

    Send

    Volunteers load the finished boxes so they can begin their journey to children around the world.

The ministry in pictures

Each year, volunteers turn a room full of empty boxes into gifts ready to travel.
