SERVE

We believe that God can leverage everyone’s story to bring hope to others! One of the best ways to meet people, develop relationships, and grow as a follower of Jesus is to serve one another. We’ll help you find the perfect team so you can start serving in your sweet spot. Bonus: It’s not just on the weekends! Serving opportunities are available seven days a week both online and in person.
