Christmas Giving Campaign

Details
Give Local. 2025 marks our 4th Annual Christmas Party with the Refuge House in Armona! Refuge House is a Gospel-centered after-school program that provides a safe, faith-filled space for youth in Armona, CA. Each week, the program serves dozens of children and their families through mentoring, meals, and Christ-centered community events.
Our Christmas Party partnership with Refuge House is one of the most joyful and impactful events of the year. It’s a night of celebration, generosity, and honor—where we bless the families connected to Refuge House, along with the dedicated staff and volunteers who serve them so faithfully.
Every family leaves with a family gift, a gas card, and a chance to win a grand prize! It’s our way of saying, “You are seen, valued, and loved.”
This special night happens because of generous people like you! Each year, we bless about 150 families—a total outreach cost of around $20,000-$25,000
$150 sponsors a family for the evening (gifts, games, and fun included).
You can also sponsor the meal or raffle prizes for additional impact.
Every gift—large or small—helps share the love of Jesus in a tangible way this Christmas.

Give Globally. While we bless families here at home, we also reach beyond our borders to impact lives around the world. In a season often marked by materialism, we choose to reflect the heart of Christ through radical generosity.
This year, our global outreach partner is Compassion International, supporting their Survival Program—a ministry that provides life-saving care for pregnant mothers and newborns living in poverty.
The Survival Program is Compassion’s earliest intervention in their holistic child development model. It focuses on the most vulnerable season of life—from pregnancy through a child’s first year—to combat global infant and maternal mortality and promote healthy early development.
Through this program, mothers receive medical checkups, nutritional support, and spiritual encouragement. Infants are given the care and attention they need to survive and thrive. When each baby turns one, they seamlessly transition into Compassion’s Child Development Program for continued support and discipleship.
Our goal as a church is to sponsor 10–15 mothers and their babies for 12–18 months, totaling approximately $15,000. Together, we can give these families hope, health, and the love of Jesus during the most fragile time of life.
