Backpack Ministry


  • What is backpack ministry?

    Some children in the community only have regular meals at school. We pack snack food for children to eat on the weekends and deliver it to Carrollton Elementary Schools. Each week we feed over 100 children.

  • How does volunteering work?

    We have four teams that each serve one week per month. Each team has people who pack backpacks and some who deliver them to CES. It takes less than an hour each week.

  • How can I get involved?

Coat and Warm Wear Ministry


  • What is the coat and warm wear ministry?

    In the winter our congregation comes together to collect warm clothing for our brothers and sisters in need throughout the community. Items are displayed on our fence so that they can be taken freely.

  • How does volunteering work?

    As temperatures start to drop each year we will put out a call for warm clothes. We ask that people bring in gently used or new coats and other warm-wear items. 

  • How can I get involved?

    If you want to get involved, keep an ear out for our call for items as we get closer to the winter seasons.
