Making an Impact
Impacting our community and world for the sake of God’s Kingdom isn’t a calling that some of us have and some of us don’t. If we’ve experienced the goodness of God and the hope of the Gospel, we cannot help but be moved to compassion and action for those who need him. Getting started can seem daunting, but below you will find two platforms we use to make you aware of needs and opportunities in our community and across the world for you to be a part of.
FEATURED IMPACT PARTNER:
Campus Christians at PSU
Campus Christians at Pittsburg State University is a non-denominational organization reaching out to believers of all church backgrounds. Our events and programs range from a weekly worship service and in-depth Bible studies and discussion groups to lunches, road trips and coffee houses. Our students have a wide variety of interests and involvement on campus, and it is our prayer that not a day goes by that the students of Pittsburg State are not influenced and encouraged by the ministry of Campus Christians.
September 11 + 14 • Food Collection
Many children in our area don’t have enough food at home so their primary meal happens while at school. On September 11 + 14, we are collecting food for students to take home on weekends allowing them to return on Monday fed and ready to learn. Fill a grocery bag with apple sauce, granola bars, peanut butter crackers, pudding cups, cereal/oatmeal, ramen, macaroni or Poptarts and drop it by Impact table in the lobby.
Foster Care
One of the clearest calls in scripture is to care for the vulnerable, and though not everyone may be called to be a foster parent, there are so many ways to serve those in the foster care system. Discover ways you can get involved in caring for kids, families, and workers in our community in the foster care system.

Right Here Right Now
Right Here RIght Now exists to share the love and hope of Jesus by meeting financial needs of those in our local community. We ask everyone who attends Christ’s Church to give $1 per person in their household each week, in addition to their regular giving. All $1 bills given and any money specifically designated will go to Right Here Right Now. We also ask our church to submit requests to Right Here Right Now when a financial need arises in the lives of their friends, neighbors, family or coworkers. We want to partner with you in ministering to the people around you, and our hope is that this process deepens your relationships while creating opportunities for gospel conversations.

Impact Ministry Podcast
Hosted by Christ’s Church of Oronogo’s Impact team, this podcast exists to inform and inspire you through stories and interviews with our Impact partners, both here in our own community and across the globe. You’ll hear everything from the genesis of their ministries to moments they’ve witnessed God’s power and faithfulness, as well as ways you can participate right now from where you listen. We hope this podcast encourages you toward prayer, generosity, and involvement with our ministry partners while broadening your perspective of the ways God is using those who have experienced completeness in him to transform the world around us.
