Serve in the Church and in the Community

We give ourselves away in generosity and service.

We are intentional about cultivating this habit because Jesus came “not to be served but to serve” (Matthew 20:28), and he challenged us to do the same: “I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you.” (John 13:15) 

 

Try out one of our opportunities to serve in the church and/or the city based on your skills, passion, and availability, and discover greater purpose and deeper joy.
