CALLING ALL NEIGHBORS! You're a good neighbor, and if you're like us, you want to leave your community better than you found it.
The Good Neighbor Project is an annual event where we take a Sunday to leave our communities better than we found them. We believe that Jesus cares as deeply as we do about our communities; because of that, we want to roll up our sleeves and help where we are needed.
2026 Projects!
(Click the “+” next to the project to see more details.)
Childcare is available for children 0 - 5 years of age during the Good Neighbor Project. It's FREE, and the kids will have a project of their own. Childcare will be located at our Westside Farmington Campus from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm.
Life Church will host an after-GNP barbecue! They will start serving food at about 12pm.
