Gifts of Hope

GIFTS OF HOPE

The Asbury Family is a church that gives all year round. Leading up to the holidays, Gifts of Hope is a special season of giving when we all come together to generously share our resources to begin Gospel conversations with families and kids right next door and around the world. You can be part of making a difference with your Life Group, family, or individually by filling food boxes and shoeboxes.

However you choose to participate, we are eagerly anticipating what the Lord will do through each of our collections as we share the gift of hope.
