Serve Outside The Church / Missions

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.

    2024 Make An Impact

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

    • Angel Tree envelopes are available at the Minooka, Seneca, Coal City and Shorewood campuses to help families in need with Christmas gifts. Contact Patrick Erzinger, at Reclaimed if you would like more information.

    • 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. Ms. Pearl has designed this place to be a beacon of hope and connection point for the community. Please have the items delivered to Reclaimed by December 10. You can use this link to shop.

    • Heart for Africa Ornaments: The profit from the sale of every ornament goes to the care of orphans and vulnerable children in Eswatini Africa. Pick up a bag of 10 ornaments to sell at the Minooka, Seneca, Coal City or Shorewood campuses. Each ornament is $12. Pay for the bag up front and keep the money from the sale of the ornaments. You can pay for the ornaments with Venmo: @Reclaim3d, cash or check payable to Reclaimed Charity.

    Reclaim3d Banquet and Golf Outing To Invest In Our Communities

    This year, our goal for 2024 was to raise $50,000 for Reclaim3d locally so we can invest in our communities each month. We will provide 19 Mobile Food Pantries, back to school clothes for local kids, and help struggling families with rent and utility assistance.

    God showed up big time and we are over $72,000 and counting. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated to the annual Reclaim3d event!

    Big Give For Kids

    The Village cares about families and looks for opportunities to ease the financial burden of going back to school.

    The Big Give For Kids held on  August 2 & 3 allowed kids to receive free gently used clothes, new shoes and socks, school supplies and a bottle of laundry detergent for the family. 

    We are so grateful for the 159 families and 424 kids that were served at this event. 

    Thank you to everyone who donated and participated in organizing and serving at The Big Give For Kids!
