What Friedens Believes About Giving

We can give our time, talent and/or treasure.

God has blessed us with a beautiful campus and loving church family that we will need to maintain for future generations and use funds to further Christ’s mission even outside of our four walls…..

Non-Monetary donations:

Worrying about the necessities of food, water, shelter, or clothing isn’t something people should have to deal with on a daily basis. Throughout the year, Friedens collects donations for our Weekender Backpack campaign, which provides take-home meals to nearly 70+ kids in need at our neighboring schools, along with various other targeted collection opportunities for local charities, such as the semi-annual giving tree, Thanksgiving pies for Wheeler Mission.   

To learn more about these opportunities and/or make a donation, please contact us.  A current listing of acceptable non-monetary donations can be found in the Outreach Ministry listing.
