Operation Christmas Child 2019
The world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, Operation Christmas Child utilizes gift-filled shoeboxes to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Are you ready to be a part of the movement?
How to Pack & Deliver Your Shoebox Gifts!
Find a Shoebox
Start with an average-size cardboard or plastic shoebox. If you want to wrap it, cover the box and lid separately. Or pick-up a box at church.
Girl or Boy?
Decide whether you will pack a box for a girl or a boy, and the age category.
Can’t decide? Feel free to build multiple shoebox gifts! The more the merrier!
Fill with Gifts
Select a quality “wow” toy such as a doll, soccer ball with pump, or stuffed animal.
Then add other fun toys, hygiene items, and school supplies. See gift “DOs and DON’Ts” here.
Pray
Most importantly, pray for the child who will receive your Operation Christmas Child shoebox gift. You can also include a personal note and photo.
$9 Tracking Labels
Donate $9 online and receive a tracking label to Follow Your Box and discover the destination of your shoebox gift.
Alternatively, you can use the labels from the printed brochure and send a check or cash in the envelope (provided in the brochure)1
Drop-Off
Take your shoebox gift(s) to Faith Community Church on Sunday, Nov. 17 or 24 (between 9:30am-12:30pm) or during normal weekday operating hours by Nov. 22.
An Evening with J. Warner Wallace
Jim Warner Wallace is a cold-case homicide detective, popular national speaker and best-selling author.
His professional investigative work has received national recognition and his cases have been featured more than any other detective on Dateline NBC.
On Saturday, October 6, join us for a complimentary dinner (hosted by Swenson Advisors), dessert (prepared by guest chef Andres Hinojosa from Dinner with a Chef), and presentation by J. Warner Wallace with an opportunity for Q & A.
Seats are limited, so register below today!
Ages 15 & up. Minors must be accompanied by adult/parent/guardian.
MORE ABOUT J. WARNER WALLACE
J. Warner was awarded the Police and Fire Medal of Valor “Sustained Superiority” Award for his continuing work on cold-case homicides, and the CopsWest Award after solving a 1979 murder.
As a vocal atheist in his mid-thirties, Jim rigorously investigated the lofty claims of the New Testament to determine if the supernatural assertions of the world’s largest religion could hold up under the intense scrutiny that modern detective-work demands. This proved to be a life-changing endeavor.
When not engaging audiences around the country, Jim resides in Southern California with his wife, Susie.
Read what others have to say about him below, then register to experience an evening with J. Warner Wallace for yourself!
“Detective J. Warner Wallace is as creative telling a story as he is solving a crime.”
– Robert Dean (Producer, Dateline NBC)
“Around DATELINE we call J. Warner Wallace ‘The Evidence Whisperer.’”
-Keith Morrison (Reporter, Dateline NBC)
“Sherlock Holmes has nothing on J. Warner Wallace.”
-Hank Hanegraaff (Author, Radio Host)
“He has a solid understanding of the critical issues, while having the rare gift of taking complex and difficult subjects and making them understandable and accessible. He is able to cut through the jargon and give real answers for real-world questions.”
-Brian Auten (Podcast Writer & Host)
“Whether you are a Christian or a skeptic, J. Warner will challenge you to consider the evidence through fresh eyes.”
-Sean McDowell (Author, Speaker, Educator)
“J. Warner Wallace understands the importance of evidence — whether it’s the evidence needed to convict a criminal, or the evidence needed to change the heart of a skeptic.”
-Andy Bannister (Ravi Zacharias Ministries)

Heartbeat Conference
Heartbeat Conference
February 19 (6pm) – 21 (9pm), 2016
$25
Why does God’s call for evangelism and discipleship so quickly lose its luster and get placed on the back burner of life?
However, our hearts naturally tend to stray from the heartbeat of God.
Join us during this multi-day conference (presented by Faith Warrior Ministry and Faith Community Church) as we focus our hearts on loving God, loving others, and learning how.
$25 covers materials and food for three days of hands-on workshops, heartfelt worship, encouraging messages, fellowship, and more.
Each evening will end by 9:00pm (no lodging on site).
Faith Community Church | 2700 Rancho Pancho | Carlsbad, 92009 | 760-930-0400
