Reach Your World - Opportunities

One of the ways that the Fairway Family is putting our vision of being a church that is about “moving people to LIFE in Christ one step at a time” into action is becoming a Partner In Education with Jefferson Elementary School here in Wichita Falls.

Partnering with Jefferson gives us several ways to share our lives with our community because of the life of Christ in us. Not only do we get much greater access to the students, families, and faculty for publicity and events, we also have the opportunity of serving them throughout the year. There are several areas of need within this ministry.

Good News Club
In this after-school program, the gospel is presented to a group of children who may not have ever been exposed to the Bible before. The director and teachers are in place, but they need some hands-on help with the children. Those who participate will meet every Tuesday for a couple hours after school .

Mentorship
In this one-on-one program, you will invest in a specific child’s life throughout the school year by meeting with them 30 minutes a week, talking with them, eating lunch with them at times, listening to them, and just showing you care. Some of these kids have no one else they can talk to or trust.

PowerPak 4 Kids
This program involves putting together Paks of nutritionally-appropriate food (provided to us by the Food Bank) and delivering them to the school each Friday. These Paks will be distributed by the school to students on the lunch program and will provide a weekend’s worth of food.

Whether you are a high school or college student or a retired senior adult or anything in between, this partnership with Jefferson has an opportunity for you to help a child with the gift of your time and your compassion.
