Angel Tree
Angel Tree is a long‑standing SGMC mission project that provides Christmas gifts for families in need helping them have a joyful Christmas. Church members select angel tags from the trees in the Springer Center and purchase the gifts listed and returned wrapped with the angel attached. Volunteers identify the families, organize tags, and help with delivery.

Monthly Food Collection
Each first Sunday, SGMC members bring non‑perishable food items to support Ward‑Stewart Elementary students and Starkville Strong, helping address food scarcity in our community. Volunteers deliver the donations and determine which partner will receive SGMC’s contribution each month.
