This season, our Downtown Campus is celebrating Christmas by being the hands and feet of Jesus locally and globally.

Globally

Operation Christmas Child

Collection Details — Sun, Nov 22 — Downtown Campus (Main Foyer)

Each year, Houston's First joins with Samaritan's Purse to send gift-filled shoeboxes to children around the world through Operation Christmas Child. These simple boxes, packed with love, bring joy to kids in hard-to-reach places.

By packing a shoebox, you are not just giving a gift; you are planting seeds of faith. You are encouraged to pray over each box you prepare, asking God to open hearts to the Good News of Jesus and to transform entire communities through the power of the Gospel.

Locally

YMCA Angel Tree

This Christmas, our Downtown Campus is partnering with the YMCA to help provide gifts for local children and families through their Angel Tree initiative. We will be collecting toys for 30 boys and girls, ages 10–18, helping make Christmas a little brighter for families in our community.

Bring a new, unwrapped gift and join us as we come alongside the YMCA to share generosity, joy, and the love of Christ with our neighbors.
