Serve With Us

Why We Serve

We serve because Jesus first served us. In Mark 10:45, Jesus tells us that “even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Serving others is a tangible way we can show God’s love to our church family and community.

When we serve:

• We follow Christ’s example
• We use our God-given gifts as intended
• We build meaningful relationships
• We experience the joy of making a difference
• We help fulfill the church’s mission
