Local Impact
Our Difference Maker partners give us unique opportunities to serve others. When you step in to make an impact in someone else’s life, you may find that God is also working in you—changing your heart in ways you never expected.
Life Forward
Life Forward helps women and their families make life-affirming decisions through God’s love. Through our participation in the “Change for Life” baby bottle drive and the “Strides for Hope” 5k run and walk, we can help support the many families that benefit from the variety of services offered by Life Forward.
The Bear Ministry
The Bear Ministry makes cute, comfort bears from scratch, then sends them into the community where they are placed with those needing love and encouragement. The volunteer team gathers once a month to sew, stuff, and dress the bears which are then distributed to area hospitals, schools, and police departments where they then go to those that need them.

Joshua's Place
Joshua’s Place helps families experiencing poverty overcome barriers to stability. Through programs like their Food Co-Op, Reading Recovery, and Whiz Kids tutoring, they provide practical resources, educational support, and personal development opportunities. The goal is to equip families and students with tools for long-term success while offering encouragement, prayer, and hope along the way. Christ’s Church hosts the Mason Food Co-Op every other Tuesday and the Reading Recovery in the summer.

They exist to support families in tough times-helping offset bills, ease costs, and offer a hand up to get them back on their feet. Through their Boutique, guests can shop weekly for clothing and essentials at no cost. They have opened the first facility of its kind in the nation—combining a free-choice market, clothing boutique, medical and dental services, pediatric occupational therapy, and a Carry Her program under one roof.
Feast for Friends
Feast for Friends is our annual Thanksgiving outreach to families in our community.

Even if it lightens the load for just one day, we believe it can make a lasting difference.
Little Angels
Christ’s Church partners with local parents to provide Christmas gifts for children in need, offering them the opportunity to register for our “Little Angels Shoppe.” Church members donate new clothes and toys, giving parents the joy of personally selecting gifts to give their children.
Global Impact
We believe that taking the message of Jesus into the world is a central part of the church’s mission. Jesus says in Acts 1:8 – “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Our global difference makers allow our church to serve in multiple ways, make different impacts in the world and take the redemptive message of Jesus to the people and places that need to hear it.
