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.

2. Volunteer: We have various volunteer roles available in shifts, including setup, assisting with activities, managing candy distribution, and event cleanup. Each role is designed to be engaging and supportive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable event for everyone. Click here to choose a shift that fits your schedule and interests.
3. Donate Candy: We’re looking to provide a variety of goodies for all of our Trunk or Treaters. You can help us by contributing to our Amazon gift list, which features a selection of candy suitable for the event. If you’d like to make an even greater impact, consider matching your candy donation to benefit both the Westheimer & Gethsemane campuses!
