As many of us give and receive gifts with friends and family, thousands of children do not get to participate in this holiday tradition. Our Giving Hope Christmas event is an opportunity to make the holiday season special for families in need. This event allows parents the opportunity to select Christmas gifts for their children and have the shopping experience at no cost.

step one: shopping

When you participate in Giving Hope, you have the opportunity to share the hope of Jesus with a child and help make their Christmas meaningful through purchasing them gifts they’d otherwise not receive. Our goal is for each child to receive 3-4 quality gifts that will last, valued at $20-25 each. (Feel free to shop for sale items.)

  • No clothes or shoes

  • No books other than Bibles

  • Please use your discretion to make sure all gifts are appropriate and Christ-honoring

step two: bible

We want each child to receive a Bible for Christmas. In addition to the gifts you purchase, please also include an age-appropriate Bible. (Suggestions below)

  • Ages 0-8 The Jesus Storybook Bible

  • Ages 9-12 The Action Bible

  • Ages 13-Up NIV Teen Study Bible

step three: gift wrap

  • Once you have completed your shopping, please place all gifts, unwrapped, inside the provided bag and tie the age-specific tag around the bag.

  • If possible, please include gift wrap and tape upon drop off.

step four: drop off

  • Please return all gifts by December 3/4.

  • Gifts can be dropped off during any weekend service at the Giving Hope booths located in each location lobby. Check with your location for specific drop-off times and locations outside of weekend services.

step five: pray

  • As you spend time shopping and preparing, please cover these children and their families in prayer.
