2025 CHURCH PARTNER LUNCH

Bringing local church and community leaders together for a time of connection, discussion, and exploration of how to best serve our community, for we are stronger together.

A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12

Thank you to all who participated! We had a wonderful afternoon with you and are blessed to work side by side, serving our community. Stronger together!

Every church or ministry who serves Littleton works hard to meet the needs in our community. But no single church, business, or relief organization can meet every single need! That’s why each of us must operate from our strengths — and then come together to create something greater. As we serve, side by side, the influence within our community becomes greater than what we could ever achieve alone. Christ’s love is shared, needs are met, and our neighbors are served even better in the name of Christ.

11:00 A.M. – 1:00 P.M.*
