This year we are excited to continue our annual Giving Tree Project supporting Growing Together Preschool (GTP), StepUp Ministry, and local Women’s Prison Ministries. GTP is a preschool program housed here at Christ Church that serves three and four-year-old’s living in public housing. StepUp Ministry is a life skills resource in Wake County for people seeking to improve their lives and develop stable careers. North Carolina Correctional Institute for Women (NCCIW) is hoping to provide Christmas gift bags and meals to every person incarcerated this December.We have a few different ways you can support our neighbors this holiday season.
