Specific Ways to Give & Serve
Camp Scholarships: We try our best to keep our Youth Group activities and events free or at a low cost; but sometimes it is difficult for a family to afford sending their teen(s). This year we gave over $10,000 in scholarships for students to attend winter camp, Elevate, and summer camps. We begin fundraising almost as soon as camp is over. If you would like to give a one-time donation or a monthly donation towards student scholarships talk to Jeremy or Rick!

Come and go prayer time.

To My First Church Family,
As I begin this new stage of my life's journey, I want to express how blessed I am to be a part of God's family - this congregation specifically.
It has been an amazing experience. To be able to feel the love, support and prayers is something I will cherish forever.
Thank you for your donations to Cocal Gracias.
