about the event

We are excited to announce the upcoming Run for Rest, a 5K run/walk family event hosted by First Christian Church of Dodge City. The event is a great opportunity for families and individuals to come together and support a worthy cause. All proceeds from the event will go towards FCC's Rest Ministry, which is dedicated to providing beds to kids and families in Dodge City who don't have a place to sleep.

We believe that everyone deserves a good night's sleep and a comfortable bed to rest on, and so we are inviting you to join us in making a difference: “Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Mathew 11:28

By participating in our 5K run/walk, you can help us support families in need and bring hope to those who are struggling. Whether you're an experienced runner or just looking for a fun way to get involved in your community, our event is the perfect opportunity to make a difference and have a great time doing it.

VOLUNTEER

Since 2019 The “Rest Ministry” has been providing beds to families in need. In that time span nearly 300 children have been given beds and are now able to get the “rest” they so desperately need. Unfortunately there are still hundreds of children in Dodge City without beds – often times sharing a bed with siblings or parents, sleeping on furniture, or simply trying to sleep on the floor. Join us as we “Run for Rest” and raise money to purchase beds and provide “rest” for children!
