The goal of our Missions Ministry is to glorify God by advancing the gospel through local, national, and global partnerships, mobilizing our church to pray, give, and go in obedience to the Great Commission.
We need your help in collecting backpacks for Denton ISD students, aged preschool through high school. DISD does NOT require clear backpacks. They welcome all kinds - girl or boy, decorated or not - whatever sturdy backpacks you would like that would last the student through the school year. These will be distributed at the two Back to School Fairs in late July. Please bring your donations by the church office at your convenience.
The Blessing Tree at First Denton allows church members to anonymously request help, and fellow members can joyfully assist by providing Christmas gifts. Participation is exclusive to First Denton members, verified upon registration. Kindly register by November 15, and you will be notified when your gifts are ready for pick-up. (Parents, please register as a parent and add each child using the '+ add someone else' button on the next page.)
