Operation Christmas Child helps kids worldwide receive shoeboxes full of gifts packed by people worldwide. Our church participates in packing these boxes and is a drop-off location for the Carlsbad area. In November and December, our fifth-grade preteens collect items for the shoeboxes and pack them. 

Operation Christmas Child not only gives gifts like toys and hygiene items but also allows the kids to hear the Gospel. The Greatest Journey is a program kids can take in these communities that teaches them and their families about the Hope and Love of Christ.
