You Can Make A Real Impact
One of the ways that we grow in following Jesus is by serving.
We believe that serving others shows the true heart of who we are.
Serve is a step in our discipleship pathway to remind us that a disciple’s heart seeks to share the Gospel message and encounter a world that needs compassion, healing, and relief from suffering. God has prepared good works for us to do!
