Special Events
Canned Food Drive:
Early in the year, the Youth have a special fund-raiser that goes through March to raise money for Allied Churches of Alamance. Each dollar collected will purchase 6 cans of food. The start in January with a hard push on Super Bowl Sunday (with Souper Bowl of Caring) and continue until the District UMY comes together in March to make the final donation.
Church Camp: (click for pictures)
Our camp ministry is very important to us. We take about 50-60 kids from ages 8 to 16 for a week at Lake Singletary Group Camp outside of White Lake for a full week of recreation, crafts, bible study classes, music and worship. The kids love it and come back home as stronger Christians ready to face the world. It takes place in July each year so look at the calendar for application deadlines.

Relay for Life:
Our church supports the annual Relay for Life of Alamance County in May. We have several survivors that take that victory walk each year and it is a blessing to support American Cancer Society in their search for a cure. Please join us in our preparations for the next one where we will have our tents set up and will be raising money to support this cause.
School Supply Giveaway:
Each year we support our community by assisting families with children who are in need of school supplies. It is a community event where we build hundreds of bags filled with all the necessary supplies and we also feed the families hot dogs, chips and drinks. We are truly blessed by this ministry, just as much as those on the receiving end.
Trunk-or-Treat: (Click for Pictures)
On Halloween night we park our cars and trucks in our parking lot, decorated our trunks and dress up for fun to give out candy to all the kids in the community. We provide free hot dogs, chips and drinks for all the kids too. We plan on doing this every year from now on, so bring your kids for a fun and safe trick-or-treating alternative.
