News and Events
You’re invited to share the love and hospitality of Aspen Hill Christian Church through the programs and activities described here. Our outreach efforts that support needs in our community, our church fellowship events, and our worship services all take place in a loving and spiritual environment.
AHCC Community Outreach Activities
The Outreach ministry of Aspen Hill Christian Church provides a wide variety of community support throughout the year including fully stocked back to school backpacks, Thanksgiving baskets, and Christmas toys for local children in need. Our food pantry is stocked with plenty of non-perishable items, and we have been able to help several families with food. If you need assistance or wish to donate to the food pantry, please contact the church office.
Church Fellowship Hour after our Sunday Worship Services
We have restarted our Fellowship Period following Worship so please sign up and bring in pre-wrapped items like cookies or chips and sealed drink boxes. With the pandemic still going on, we have to be extra careful about food so please sponsor a Fellowship Period and make it as special as you can.
Flowers for Church Services
