Environmental Protection
Church of God volunteers take care of the world God has given to all creation by organizing cleanups and plantings. In addition to protecting the environment though these activities, they also raise awareness and educate the community about current environmental issues through forums and tabling events.
Blood Drives
One way to share love is to donate blood. The Church of God hosts these life-saving events to better equip blood banks and hospitals to save patients in desperate need of blood transfusions. With just one donation, you can save up to three lives!
Disaster Relief
No one knows when or in what form disaster will strike. However, many Church of God volunteers have been trained in emergency preparedness. Volunteers do their best to assist the community when help is needed most.
Smile Campaign
Sometimes, a smile is all you need to brighten up your day. Through various social welfare events and activities that support the community at large, volunteers hope to inspire a sense of joy and love.
Partnerships
The World Mission Society Church of God partners with local and national government offices and officials to further the work done in communities where the Church of God is located.
