Christmas at the Cove
📅 Date: Monday, December 8, 2025
📍 Location: FBC Activity Center
Christmas at the Cove is our largest annual outreach event. Through our partners at The Harrelson Center, Alderman Elementary, and beyond, we invite local families in need to a Christmas party and free toy shop. You can get involved by donating gifts to stock the toy shop and volunteering at the event on December 8.
Gifts for Christmas at the Cove:
We are looking for donations of new, unwrapped toys for our toy store! We are collecting gifts for children of all ages, and gift cards are also welcome. Our Amazon wishlist is below.
Bring your toy donations with you to our Night of Thanks on November 23! If you have toys to drop off prior to 11/23, please bring them directly to the Activity Center.
Volunteer Information:
We need volunteers who are willing to say “Yes!” to helping with the Toy Store, the book drive, kids' crafts and activities, set up, take down, clean up crews, and everything else in between! All ages are welcome to take part. Please prayerfully consider how you can help us host this deeply impactful event.
Volunteers are needed from 5-8PM (or later if on cleanup). Sign up using the form below!
FEATURED PARTNER
Living Hope
In 2023, we partnered with Living Hope to convert our underutilized basement space into a day shelter. The shelter is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9AM to 1PM and provides help to our unhoused neighbors. The volunteers provide a comfortable place to rest, breakfast, coffee, and help connecting those in need with nearby non-profits.

LOCAL
Tuesday Night
Ministries
Every Tuesday Night, we serve a community meal to our neighbors. This ministry has expanded to include a shower trailer and clothing closet!
There are multiple ways to get involved with our Tuesday Night Ministry. We need volunteers to help with the cooking, serving, clothing closet, shower trailer, and more.
NATIONAL
CBF Partners
We have partnered with Missionaries around the country through our connection with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF). In 2022 our students traveled to Corbin, Kentucky and worked at the Baptist Housing facility, a 64 unit living facility for elderly and mobility-impaired adults.
In 2023, we partnered with Forest Hills Baptist Church and CBF’s very own Welcome House ministry to do what we called a “Tour de Welcome House.” Our teams got to hear from local Raleigh churches about what goes into creating a ‘Welcome House’ and the process that refugee families go through while adjusting to life in the States.

GLOBAL
Guatemala &
South Africa
We partner with GRACE Ministries in Chimaltenango, Guatemala to support their work through monetary donations and mission work. We typically travel to Guatemala twice per year to help build housing and other important infrastructure.
FBC is a part of the South Africa Network. We have made a commitment to several ministry partners in South Africa – to support the work they are doing, to provide resources as we can, and to go to South Africa and encourage them with whatever labor and words of affirmation are needed.
