The Pumpkin Patch at First Christian Church is back! Open daily from October 10–31 at 1300 S. First Street in Lufkin, our patch is more than just a place to pick the perfect pumpkin — it’s a way to make a difference.

When you purchase a pumpkin here, you’re helping transform lives near and far. Proceeds support our mission partners in Cuba and Uganda, providing clean water, supporting local pastors and congregations, and making education possible for children through sponsorships. Every pumpkin sold helps bring hope, stability, and opportunity to families in need.

But the impact doesn’t stop there. The pumpkins themselves are grown by Navajo farmers in New Mexico, creating seasonal jobs and supporting Native American communities. So whether you choose a small gourd or the biggest pumpkin in the patch, you’re part of something bigger!

Along with rows of pumpkins, you’ll find specialty gourds, unique varieties, and perfect spots for family photos. Admission is free — you just pay for your pumpkins, priced by size and type.

Bring your family, invite your friends, and enjoy the season while supporting meaningful missions. Because here, every pumpkin has a purpose.
