Service to others and community involvement are important in our Church, and we teach our children to embrace these values. Service opportunities for preschool and elementary school children (ages 3-11) in both our local and broader communities include the following:

• Organizing boxed (“White Dove”) Christmas meals for Person to Person

• Collecting for UNICEF

• Preparing lunch and then serving those in need at New Covenant House of Hospitality

• Participating in the Heifer International program

• Donating toys at Christmas to local charities

• Collecting school supplies and personal health kits for Church World Service
