Welcome
Our mission at Central Wesleyan Church is to build redemptive bridges of influence in our community of Holland and beyond. And to do that, we need outreach programs, both here close to home, and all over the world!
We strive to serve God's children in all we do, and so we have special programs, events, trips, projects and more to do just that! Click on the Local or Global link on the left to read more about what opportunities we offer to serve the last and least of these. Our outreach program exists to lead people into Jesus' mission of compassion and redemption.

We have been working with a group of businesses here in West Michigan to arrange for two containers to be shipped to Haiti to bring relief supplies to our partner, World Hope International. There is a need for personal hygiene kits, family-size tents and generators to be distributed among the people where many refugees are seeking food, shelter and medical care. We can help!
Time is short to get these supplies together to ship to Haiti. If you are putting together a hygiene kit, our Global Ministries Team would like to ask you to bring the entire pack rather than just some of the items listed. The more we can send, the more needs will be met. If you have friends, family members or neighbors who you think might like to participate, please let them know about this opportunity. Our window of time and opportunity is narrow.
We will be accepting personal hygiene kits, family-size tents and generators now through March 29. Hygiene kits, tents and generators (3200W range) can be dropped off at Taylor Rental on Waverly in Holland during business hours. There's no deadline to donate if you'd just like to donate monetarily.

Discipleship Material Needed
For years we have seen the Karis people come to Christ in Central Asia with very little discipleship material available for these former Muslims. After several years of work our missionaries have translated a discipleship book and would like to print 1,000 copies to guide new believers through. If you would like to help, mark your offering envelope, "Translation."
