Military Ministry

at Champion Forest

Purpose

To know and recognize who our CF military members and their families are; to grow awareness of our military members’ needs and help provide ways everyone can participate in meeting those needs; and to encourage and support our military members and their families, co-workers and neighbors in the name of Jesus Christ.

How We Minister to Military Service Members

  • Military Ministry Booth – Designed to be point of contact and information exchange for both our military family members and our ministry volunteers.
  • Wall of Honor – Display of active duty CF members photos in honor of their faithful service to our country.
  • Honor Our Military Service – Time set aside to recognize, honor and thank our active duty servicemen and women, our Veterans who have served, and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Operation Gifts for Our Troops

Packing Day

The Champion Forest Military Ministry is collecting items to send as Christmas gifts to our men and women serving our country around the world. They are deployed and alone as they protect our freedoms far from home, and this is a great way to show them our love and support this Christmas season while they are away. A suggested list of donation items is available at the Military Ministry booth, and it is also linked below. Please drop off your items for our heroes in the green barrels provided at the Military Ministry booth. This year, we will be collecting items from September 28 through October 12 to be packed on Friday, November 7 at 8am. If you’d like to participate in the packing day, or if you have any questions, please email military@championforest.org.
