The Christmas trees on the wall in the church lobby is an excellent way to partner together and show generosity to our brothers and sisters across the globe! Paper tags hang on the branches, each one reflecting a need from our missionaries this season. You can select a tag from the tree in person; we ask for a monetary donation for the item, and please include the tag with your donation. Or you can fill out the digital form here, select from the list, and then donate! When everything is collected, we'll write one big check to each of our missionaries and send their gifts out. Thank you for your generosity!
*Note: Please do not purchase the items listed. It is more cost-effective for our missionaries if we send them the funds to buy the items in their country. Thank you.

Kevin Briere - His House Christian Fellowship MSU
The college experience brings with it many questions: What major will a student choose? Where will a student meet friends? At His House, we want students to ask questions with more significance: Why does God have you at college? And what does He want you to do while you’re here? His House MSU exists to help students discover God’s purpose for them at Michigan State University and beyond. Through Him, you can accomplish so much more in four (or five) years than just getting a degree!
