Be Part of the Mission

We want to equip you and provide opportunities for you to serve outside the church walls and help others. Helping others is at the core of who we are. In fact, it’s so important that it’s part of our church mission – helping people experience Life Change, Life Growth, and Life Purpose! Life Purpose is all about doing what God created us to do, which is to serve others!

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

We want to be an exceedingly generous church giving BIG to help people in need locally, regionally, and globally. Check out Reclaim3d, which exists to reclaim bad circumstances into something beautiful locally, regionally, and globally.

Here Are Ways We’re Helping Others

Local and Regional Missions

But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and truth.

    Make an Impact this Christmas season as we partner with Reclaimed, to make a difference locally, regionally, and globally. Here’s how you can get involved:

    • Angel Trees: Sponsor a local family with children and provide Christmas gifts for the kids to open. Envelopes are available at each Campus.  

    • Ms. Pearl’s Christmas Store: Help fulfill wishes by shopping from Ms. Pearl’s Amazon Wish List. The wish list is for supplies for the Good News Community Coffee House. Please have the items delivered to Reclaimed by December 14. You can use this link to shop.

    • Heart for Africa Ornaments: The profit from every ornament sale goes to the care of orphans and vulnerable children in Eswatini Africa. You can pick up a bag of 5 ornaments to sell at the Minooka, Seneca, Coal City or Shorewood campuses. Each ornament is $12. 

    2025 Meal Pack For Hungry Families Around The World

    The Meal Pack is an event where we are partnering with Lifeline Christian Mission to pack 100,000 meals to be sent to hungry families in around the world.

    Each meal is $.30 and we are raising $15,000 to pay for those meals. There are several ways you can help us meet our goal.

    The Big Give For Kids Grows in 2025

    The Big Give For Kids is an event to help families with free gently used clothes for kids, size infant – adult.  A limited quantity of new shoes, socks, underwear and laundry detergent is also available to these families.

    This year 126 families visited the Minooka Campus during the event and someone with connection to a ministry in Nigeria came and received a generous amount of clothes to send to help families in that country as well!

    The Seneca Campus was also able to participate in The Big Give For Kids for the first time and 100 families visited the church to receive gently used clothes for their kids to have for the new school year starting in the next couple weeks.

    We give all the glory to God and we thank everyone who donated and volunteered their time to help make this event such a big success!!

    2025 Fueling Local Change: A Banquet for Action
