Missions

You can help our community by volunteering at the Orangevale-Fair Oaks Food Bank! As a church, we're committed to helping distribute food on a monthly basis. We need ~15 volunteers from 9am-1pm on the second Friday of each month.
NEXT DISTRIBUTION DATE: September 8 (9a-1pm)

Join us on Wednesday, October 4 at 6p for a potluck dinner and hear from some local and global ministry partners! At this event, Pastor Dede from Romania will be with us, learn about Euro Christan Partners, and hear from Leo & Camy with Cru, who work with international students on college campuses. Everyone is welcome!

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Starting on October 8th, you can pick up a shoebox in the lobby at church and return it filled by or before November 5. Learn more about packing instructions below. Thanks for participating!

We hope you sign up to volunteer at the Community Food Drive hosted at Divine Savior Church on October 7 here. We'll be taking all food donated in September over to the Food Drive on October 7th at 10:30a. Contact Lauri Balbi if you want more details about how to get involved in this community-wide event!

If you are interested or would like to explore the possibility of going on a short-term mission trip in 2024 with Fair Oaks Church, please attend this informational meeting on Sunday, October 15th at 11:45a in the Kids Assembly Room. All ages are welcome. We are currently considering trips to Mexico and Malawi based on interest. Contact Lauri with questions.

Become a sponsor to help children and young adults in rural Malawi. This program creates access to a new quality of life and expands opportunities for flourishing instead of just surviving. Sponsors give $46 per child per month. This provides high quality education (at Miqlat Primary School, Private Secondary School or Trade School), uniforms and all necessary school supplies, daily nutritious meals, access to quality healthcare, sustainable agricultural techniques, life-giving spiritual discipleship. Contact Lauri with questions or if you want to become a sponsor.

We are partnering with 3 other local EPC churches for a special outreach project! We are coming together to provide 400 sewing machines to Afghan refugee families so they can sew clothes and/or start a business. We are collecting new or gently used sewing machines now through Oct 30. Make a donation or order new machine on Amazon. Contact Lauri with questions and get more information.

Our annual Craft Fair is happening at Fair Oaks Church on Saturday, November 4th from 9am-2pm. Come shop for handmade crafts and seasonal items for the holidays. There is something for everyone! All proceeds will go to benefit missions and outreach projects through Fair Oaks Church. (This is a non-vendor event.)

Want to help? There are plenty of opportunities to make this event happen! You can volunteer ahead of time earlier in the week to help with prep and setup, or there are lots of needed roles the day of the event on 11/4. Explore shifts and sign up below.

We believe in supporting and serving our local community in addition to reaching the ends of the earth. 

We support missionaries and agencies doing God's work
in spreading the Gospel all around the world!
