What is operation Christmas Child?

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Since 1993, more than 178 million children in more than 150 countries have received an Operation Christmas Child shoebox. The project delivers not only the joy of what, for many kids, is their first gift ever, but also gives them a tangible expression of God’s love.


At FBC, we have partnered with Samaritan’s Purse to aid in the mission of sharing the Good News of Jesus! This is done through generous donations, packing shoeboxes, and acting as the local drop-off point for other churches in the Branch County area!
