A Local Connection
Every year a portion of the money raised will be donated to the organization Fathers in the Field. This organization, through the help of local churches likes College Heights Baptist Church, works one-on-one to change the lives of fatherless children. The organization was founded by a man who had been deserted by his own father and struggled with the wound of abandonment for decades before discovering the healing of forgiveness. Fathers in the Field is a non-proft, Christian adventure ministry that partners fatherless boys with mature Christian men who are passionate about God and His Creation. They believe that the only way to heal the wound of abandonment is through the radical, counter-culture truth of forgiveness.
Children from fatherless homes are:
Their objective is to "heal" the deep, anger filled soul wound that an abandoned boy suffers from and carries with him; thereby stopping the cycle of destruction and abandonment. All of this information and more can be found on their website through the link below. |
College Heights Baptist Church MOPS
Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) is about meeting the needs of every mom of a child from conception through kindergarten with local groups of moms just like you.
Being moms is what brings us together and allows us to build a community, and a MOPS group allows you to meet and build friendships with moms in your local community. The early years of being a mom are just as foundational to you as they are to your baby, and those years are filled with unique needs that other moms instinctively understand. Our local group has been wonderfully sponsored by College Heights Baptist Church. College Heights is a friendly, loving church that tries to be welcoming and encouraging no matter where you are in your walk with the Lord and believes that we are meant to walk together in faith, encouraging and helping each other to be the followers of Christ that we are called to be. You can find out more information about our local MOPS group and College Heights through the buttons below. Sponsor the Event
We would so appreciate donations of any amount! We would love some small items for our goody bags. Monetary donations will go to help cover costs of the 5K (water, flyers, advertising, etc). The more donations we can get the more we will actually earn to help the CHBC MOPS group and the The Fathers in the Field organization. If you would like more information on sponsoring this event please go to the Sponsors or Contact Us pages.
