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 15th!

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.)
