Operation Christmas Child

Yearly, Providence members help provide simple shoebox gifts from Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse, partnering to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ. Our Church participates in the program by combining resources and efforts to create the boxes, and also help in the distribution centers.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing

We have all heard the ringing of Salvation Army bells during the Christmas season. It serves as a reminder of the great needs that many face during this time of the year. Providence Church promotes the work that the Salvation Army does to comfort those who find themselves in difficult situations, helping to spread joy by dedicating one day each season to ringing the bell outside a local retailer.

second season pantry & Thrift

The Second Season Pantry is a ministry of Long's Chapel, providing a free grocery store for those unable to make ends meet or who are food insecure. Shoppers give their name and the number of household members being fed as the only requirements. Limitations include only one visit per week and limited quantities on food items. Their thrift store helps to fund the two workers they have while the rest serve as volunteers. Many of our members volunteer in this local ministry.
