Are You Being Called To Go On A Mission Trip? 

Join Us Sunday, June 1st at 6pm to Learn More.

Get ready for an incredible journey! We're excited to announce an interest meeting for our upcoming mission trip to Costa Rica in 2026, where we'll be once again working alongside missionaries Jason and Abby Torgeson.  This trip offers a unique opportunity to serve God, make a real difference in the lives of others, and experience a transformative journey. Join us for an interest meeting on Sunday, June 1st at 6pm in the church parlor to learn more about the trip, the location, how you can be a part of it and we'll try and answer any questions you might have in regards to this incredible journey.  If you are unable to attend the meeting but are interested in possibly going on the trip and receiving more information please let a member of the previous mission team know of your interest so that we can keep you included in receiving any information on the trip.

Donate to the Costa Rica Sellers Center Mattress Fund

Helping the Sellers Center One Mattress at a Time

For those that attended the Costa Rica Mission Trip presentation at the beginning of April you heard about the not so lovely, very thin, worn-out mattresses that we slept on.  Most of us piled several mattresses on top of each other to create something somewhat decent to sleep on.  One of the projects that the missionaries in Costa Rica are working on is building new bunkbeds and replacing all the mattresses. Since we know what it was like to sleep on the current mattresses and because we would like to continue doing mission trips to Costa Rica (and sleep on better beds) we would like to help with the replacing of the mattresses.

A mattress is more than just a place to sleep; it's an essential component of our overall health and well-being. Quality sleep is fundamental to physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability. We would like to ensure that all those who use the Sellers Center will be assured a good night’s sleep. When individuals are well-rested, they are more productive and can contribute positively to the mission or event that they are there for and with the Mattress Fund we aim to uplift the community by addressing this fundamental need.

How You Can Help

Donate: Every dollar counts. Your monetary donations go directly towards purchasing mattresses for the Sellers Center.  You can donate any amount but if you would like to donate the cost of one mattress, the amount is $180. 

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. Let’s help our neighbors, one mattress at a time. 

Ways to Donate

There are a couple of ways to donate, including:

• Checks or cash: checks can be made out to First Church of God with “mattress fund” in the memo line. Cash can be given with a note that it is for the mattress fund. Both can be given in the offering or given to a mission team member.
• Online donations can be made directly to the missionary fund that Jason and Abby Torgeson will use to purchase the mattresses. If you donate directly online, please let a member of the mission team know that you donated so that Jason and Abby know to earmark it for mattresses.https://chogglobal.org/mission-projects/projects-latin-america/la-mission
