Serve Our City
What is Serve Our City?
Serve Our City is an opportunity for our whole church to come together to make an impact in our community for the Gospel.
Through a variety of projects, both large and small, there is a way for everyone to be involved. Projects can be scheduled throughout the week of October 13-18 culminating with most projects happening on Serve Saturday, October 18.
For those serving on Saturday, we will gather for a time of prayer, handing out t-shirts if needed, and chicken biscuits at 8:30am. Due to the amount of projects throughout the week, we will have a special t-shirt pickup on Sunday, October 12.
What’s happening now: Project leaders are being recruited and projects are being proposed. See below to sign up as a leader and propose a project.
What’s next: As projects are approved, opportunities will be added below for volunteers to join in.
Project Leaders
This year for Serve Our City, we’re inviting leaders to step up and organize community service projects.
Many groups enjoy serving together, so we’re encouraging every group to identify a project and a leader to take the lead. Once your project is decided, simply complete the Project Leader Application—this helps our Global Team know how best to support you. If you’re not currently in a group, we’re also looking for leaders who are willing to lead projects that anyone can join in to serve.
