We warmly invite you and your family to join us, walking together in unity with brothers and sisters from across our church and blessing one another. This is also a wonderful gospel opportunity—invite your colleagues, friends, and neighbors to come along, so that more people may connect with the church and hear the Good News. Let us run together, not only receiving blessings, but also becoming a channel of Christ’s blessings to many!
Registration Fee: $20 per person (to be paid on-site). Each registration comes with a limited-edition custom hat (first come, first served, while supplies last). After covering necessary expenses, all proceeds will go toward the church’s Mission Fund. Please use this link to register.

Operation Christmas Child 2025

This year, SVCA will be the central drop off location for the North Bay. This means we will need even more volunteer support than in previous years. We are hoping to get at minimum 30 volunteers throughout the 8 days.
We have set the daily time later than in previous years with the hope this will allow more SVCA members to be available, including youth students.
