During our four weeks of advent, we will participate in various types of giving. We give during this season to remind ourselves of the foundation of the Gospel, that God gave himself for us.

God is our provider. With this in mind, we will bring in food items to come alongside those in need through New Hope Community Center. For a list of needed items, go to our website listed below or to our Info Center. Donations will be accepted before and after services. Pull up to the drop off area in the parking lot and someone will be there to help you get your donations inside.
Donated items can also be dropped off directly at New Hope Community Center from 9:00am - 11:30am, Mon-Wed. Their address is 6915 E. University Drive, Mesa 85207
gifts & Stockings | dec 15
There are many around us who are not able to provide what they would desire for their families. We are going to come alongside these families from Via and in our community during Christmas. Pick up a stocking or gift tag on Dec 1 and Dec 8 and bring your new and unwrapped gifts to the designated area of the Cafe on Dec 15.
