Christmas 2024
Christmas is right around the corner, and we are so excited to partner with YOU and serve our community! Life Church participates in 3 wonderful programs where we are able to bless families in need. So whether you’re interested in receiving gifts, volunteering with us or are able to give, we are grateful for the opportunity to be able to give and serve with you this holiday season!
RECEIVE
UPPER CUMBERLAND AREA
A limited number of free tickets will be given out to families on a first come, first serve basis at Life Church CKVL Campus at 2223 North Washington Avenue on Thursday, December 12th beginning at 4:00pm until tickets are gone. Documentation is NOT needed when coming to pick up a ticket and is only needed on shopping days (see below).
Just one person from each family should come get a ticket due to limited space. After receiving a ticket, the ticket holder will be told what day and time to come back to shop for the gifts. Only one ticket will be given per person (must be over the age of 18).
Legal Guardian must provide the following when returning to shop:
Proof of Residence and Picture ID
Birth certificate or Social Security card for each child (newborn-18 years)
Proof of assistance (TennCare, Food Stamps, government assistance letter, etc.)
Each child may only receive toys from one family member or guardian.

GIVE TO CHRISTMAS 2024
Being able to provide for those in our community takes a village, and there are several ways you can give this holiday season! We are taking donations to help provide for presents, and we also have an Amazon Wish List where you can buy the toys and ship them to the church directly. It is amazing what we can do when we join together, and it is because of YOU that this is all possible.
