ALLELUIA! MISSIONS
Commit: “Jesus sends us out to serve others and share the Gospel.”
We are a church that responds to Jesus’ call to carry out the work of love in the world. Our vision is of an Alleluia! community that is actively engaged in responding to needs, cultivating relationships, and making a lasting impact in the lives of neighbors near and far through personal and congregational involvement.
KIDS HOPE USA
Walking Together: Mentoring Makes a Difference!
Mentor ONE child for ONE hour per week at a local school! These mentorships help nurture hope through the building of caring and consistent relationships. Contact Alleluia! member Matt White at MatthewWhite00@aol.com for more information.
Those wishing to help with the costs associated with this program may do so by making a gift to Alleluia! and noting KidsHopeUSA with your donation. Thank you!
LOAVES&FISHES
Loaves & Fishes provides food and hope to residents of Naperville and DuPage County whose financial circumstances make it difficult to provide food for themselves and their families. They distribute over 60,000 pounds of groceries each week, and depend on a network of over 1000 volunteers to collect, sort, stock shelves, and assist clients. Loaves & Fishes also partners with local organizations to offer a holistic approach to meet the needs of those they serve, offering services in areas such as nutrition, mental health, employment assistance and skills, financial and computer literacy, and language skills.
COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL
Compassion’s mission is to “release children from poverty in Jesus’ name.” Through Compassion, you can sponsor a child who can benefit from Compassion’s programs, which enable the physical, social, economic, and spiritual development needed to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults. As a sponsor you will have the opportunity to support your child through prayers, letters, birthday cards, and Christmas gifts. Alleluia! has partnered with Compassion to sponsor children in Peru.
OPERATION
CHRISTMAS CHILD
Each November we participate in the Operation Christmas Child program by filling shoeboxes with various items (school supplies, toys, hygiene items) and sending them to children living in poverty around the world. Children receive these needed items as well as the Good News of God’s Son being born into the world for our sake.
FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN
Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) is a non-profit Christian organization committed to feeding God's children who are hungry in both body and spirit. FMSC utilizes volunteers of all ages to hand-pack meals specifically formulated for malnourished children. Meals are sent to nearly 70 countries around the world. If you would like to receive emails about FMSC volunteer opportunities through Alleluia!, please contact Alan at fmsc@alleluia.church. You can also sign up directly with FMSC at any time by visiting their website at fmsc.org.
HARVEST SUNDAY
FOOD DRIVE
Each year on the Sunday before Thanksgiving we respond to the blessings we have received by sharing the blessing of food with our neighbors in need through a collection of non-perishables that is distributed through Loaves and Fishes.
ADVENT GIVING TREE
During Advent the Alleluia! community has the opportunity to provide gifts for foster children through Lutheran Social Services of Illinois. We raise money to buy winter clothes, toys, holiday meals, and other items for the children in LSSI's foster care program. Thank you for your support!
HOPE INTERNATIONAL
The mission of HOPE INTERNATIONAL is to invest in
the dreams of families in the world’s underserved communities as we proclaim and live out the Gospel. One of the primary ways they do this is through a model of Savings Groups operating out of local congregations in impoverished areas. Alleluia! supports the HOPE Savings Group program in Comas, Peru.
FEED THE NEED is a community-wide annual MobilePack event through
Feed My Starving Children.
The 2026 event was held at Benedictine University's Rice Center on March 7-8. Thanks to all who volunteered! We hope to see you next year!
