Impact
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.
Freezer Meals
Providing a meal for a family is an easy yet powerful way to give love and show support to a foster family in our church or community. Please return the completed already-frozen meal on Thursday, May 14 or Sunday, May 17. Label the lid with the name of the meal, date prepared and cooking instructions. Don’t know what to make? Find some kid-friendly recipes that the whole family will love below!
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.
FEATURED IMPACT PARTNER:
Ben + Sarah
Launching in July 2026, Ben and Sarah’s work equips the Nosu* people to make the Bible accessible in their language. Nosu* is the heart language of 40 million people and less than .1% of them are Christians, but they still do not have the Bible in their language. Ben will serve as a translation facilitator. Sarah will work with local artists to commission Scripture-infused art that can serve as evangelism and discipleship tools.

Christmas Impact
Christmas Impact is an opportunity for you to give and serve alongside our Impact partners during the Advent season. There are two ways to get involved: giving and serving.
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.

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.
