Backpack Project

In 2024, we donated 100 backpacks filled with school supplies to the City of Fremont Family Resource Center for children in need. Since we started our Backpack Project in 2009, we’ve donated 1,272 backpacks filled with school supplies to organizations such as Tri-City Volunteers, Connecting for Education, and the Family Resource Center.

Prayer Shawls

The mission of the Prayer Shawl Ministry is to provide hope, comfort, and healing to those in need. A prayer shawl can be seen as a symbolic “hug” from God. Knitters and crocheters at CTK pray for healing and comfort with every stitch, creating shawls protection and healing. May it encircle and enfold you with God’s always abundant and never ceasing love.

Tri-City Volunteers

We are currently unable to collect food donations for the Tri-City Silver Barrel. Tri-City Volunteers has requested financial donations to help with the unprecedented need for assistance in the Fremont, Newark and Union City area.

Bethesda Lutheran Communities

Bethesda Lutheran Communities is a big organization by the Missouri Synod that is dedicated to helping, housing and employing people with special needs. We are fortunate to have one of their homes built on our former church ground.
Some of our members and regular church-goers live in their group home and assisted apartments. In May 2020 we started to celebrate a weekly time of devotion together via Zoom thanks to the helpful staff at Bethesda.
