Operation Christmas Child

The What

This Christmas season, Steele Creek Church is joining Operation Christmas Child to share the love of Jesus with children around the world. Through a simple shoebox filled with toys, school supplies, and hygiene items, you can bring joy and hope to a child who may have never received a gift before. Each box becomes a powerful expression of God’s love, opening the door for the Gospel to be shared and for children to begin a lifelong journey of faith through The Greatest Journey discipleship program.

Boxes are due back no later than Sunday, November 16th!

The How

 

  • Pick Up a Shoebox
    Stop by the main lobby this Sunday to grab your Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. If you’re joining us online, you can pick up boxes at our Arrowood Campus Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

    Please do not use your own boxes.

  • Fill Your Box with Gifts
    Fill your shoebox with new, age-appropriate toys, school supplies, and hygiene items. Each box is a special way to show God’s love to a child in need. (Please do not use your own boxes; use only the ones provided.)

  • Donate $10 per Shoebox
    We encourage everyone who packs a shoebox to include a $10 donation per box. This helps cover:

    • The Greatest Gift Gospel booklet (distributed with each box in 118 languages, with 10 more in process)

    • Collection and processing costs

    • Training for local churches

    • Transportation to more than 100 countries

    • Other ministry materials

    Shoebox gifts are prepared for overseas shipment at eight major processing centers across the U.S. Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Fullerton (CA), Boone, and right here in Charlotte, about a mile from our Arrowood Campus.

  • Pray for the Child Who Will Receive It
    Take a moment to pray for the boy or girl who will open your box that they would experience the love and hope of Jesus in a personal way.

  • Return Your Box
    Bring your completed boxes back to the church no later than Sunday, November 16.
