Unlike other car donation programs, the Orland Park Church Car Ministry distributes donated vehicles to needy families in the Chicagoland area, which allows for a tax deduction on the full private value of the vehicle.

Non-cosmetic repairs are coordinated on donated vehicles before they are given to qualified applicants on the waiting list. All vehicles are distributed in “As-Is Condition” with no warranty or claims regarding the overall condition of the vehicle. Vehicle recipients must plan for and have saved finances for unexpected repair expenses.

Through these efforts, Christian mercy is shown to those in need of transportation to get to employment, children to day care and school, families to church, and other necessities of daily living.

October, 2022 | Important Note: Due to increased pricing within new and used car markets at this time and the lack of available incoming car donations for the ministry, we have put a hold on accepting any new car ministry applications at this time.

Do you have a car to donate?

Contact the car ministry by leaving a message on the Car Ministry's voicemail (708-532-4900 x300) and we will be in contact with you shortly.

We take cars in running or non-running condition. You will receive a tax deduction for your donation! Thank you!

Adult Serve:  OPCRC has a very gifted “body of Christ,” who have the heart for service, and assisting those in need.

May His kingdom be furthered through this home. Click here for more information about this project.

This is a ministry that ministers directly to prisoners. OPCRC currently has 30 volunteers who receive a Bible lesson completed by an individual in prison. The volunteers spend about an hour a week checking answers and writing a letter of encouragement to the inmate. This is a great ministry for people who like to work from home and have a passion to help others grow spiritually.

His Heart and Hands Orphan Ministry of Orland Park Christian Reformed Church reaches out to our church, community, and the world with the heart of Christ for children in special need of care. Our church also participates in the Safe Families for Children ministry, a movement of hundreds of families of faith who have opened their homes to care for children whose parents are struggling. By demonstrating biblical hospitality, Safe Families for Children returns the church to the forefront of caring for orphans and widows - where historically the church was the leader. 

For more information, please contact the church office and ask to be connected with someone on the committee and we will be in touch with you shortly.

The Home Repair Ministry is sponsored by the OPCRC Deacons. Their vision is to provide our church family and community with professional home repairs. This ministry is backed by professional contractors and volunteers who will donate a portion of labor, materials, or both for those who are in need of repairs, but can't afford to pay full price. Our program targets small to medium sized jobs and repairs. For larger projects, referrals are made to trusted contractors who provide quality work at a reasonable price.
