We are so grateful for the ways that our church chooses to #loveyourneighbor!
This is a list of the one-time, church-wide collections and outreach that First Church did in 2022: for our local community, for disaster relief around the country, and at times globally. These are above and beyond collections to the regular giving to our church's mission partners. When you give to "#loveyourneighbor" or "outreach", these are the types of ways that you will help be a light for your community!
