Connecting Church Missions
Milton Area Youth Center
Since opening its doors in March 2011, the Milton Area Youth Center
has provided a safe and positive social environment for the teens of our community. At MAYC, students not only interact with friends, but have the opportunity to build relationships with mentors who proactively engage, assist and encourage our youth. Having initiated the vision for the youth center, we are glad to partner with MAYC in its ministry to students in grades 7-9. Read more.
G.I.F.T.S (God Is Faithful Temporary Shelter)
Since December 2007, G.I.F.T.S. has been filling a need to provide temporary
housing for men in the Janesville area. Traveling to a new church every week,
the unused space in local churches during the week has been put to effective use
to provide a bed, meals and help for men in need. We partner with G.I.F.T.S. two
weeks out of their season in conjunction with a church in Janesville. Find out more
at their website.
Operation Christmas Child
Every year, Samaritan's Purse works with individuals, churches and organizations
to pack shoeboxes full of Christmas gifts along with a gospel message to
children in need around the world. In 2010 over 8.17 million shoeboxes were
packed and sent to over 96 countries. For the last two years our Awana ministry
has encouraged families to donate gifts to go in the shoeboxes and taken one
club night to allow the kids to pack the shoeboxes as a way to involve them
in this mission. Read more about OCC.
