Operation Christmas Child

National Collection Week: November 14-21, 2022

Drop off hours: Monday-Friday 3-6pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, Sunday 12-4pm

Location: At the Collection Truck in the PCC parking lot:
Pacific Coast Church, 2651 Calle Frontera, San Clemente, CA 92673.

Each year, we partner with Samaritan’s Purse to pack and donate shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child, a ministry that demonstrates God’s love to kids around the world. The amazing journey of a shoebox gift begins with you and results in evangelism, discipleship, and multiplication. Every gift-filled shoebox is a powerful tool for evangelism and discipleship. As gifts are distributed, local churches present the Gospel in a fun way designed for kids while family and friends listen. For many children, their shoebox gift is the first gift they have ever received. Along with their gift, children also receive The Greatest Gift, a colorful presentation of the Gospel in their own language. This often brings parents, siblings, and friends to accept Christ and become active members in the local church. Families are reached, churches grow, new churches are started, and communities are transformed.

We will have shoe boxes you can grab on campus on Sundays and at our church offices during the week Mon-Fri from 9AM-3PM.
