Serve
Serve Opportunities
The whole ministry of Jesus was one of service. He came not to be served but to serve.
Service was the pattern of leadership Jesus adopted: service, not status. He told his followers to do the same. Every Christian is called to serve. Every Christian has a ministry. It is impossible to be a Christian without becoming a minister of Christ. Don’t use the word “minister” only for clergy and missionaries. It includes you!
There are three main words for “servant” in the New Testament, and all three apply to every Christian.
The first means “slave” (1 Peter 2:16; Revelation 1:1). It describes the total surrender of every part of our lives —home, work, love life, ambitions, and everything else — to Jesus, who gave all that he had for us. In ancient society, the slave had no rights but was entirely at the command of his master.
The second means “worship leader” (the word from which we get liturgy). It speaks of our worship (Acts 13:2). Worship is a big word. It includes our giving, our faith, the proper doing of our jobs, even evangelism. Does your worship spill over into telling others about your Lord?
The third means “helper”; the word deacon comes from it. It describes our relationship with fellow Christians and with those who as yet are not. Prison visiting and personal service, handing out soup, and preaching are all included by this word, service. We should not separate the sacred from the secular; everything belongs to God.
“This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ.” “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God —this is your spiritual act of worship.”

Serve the Church
Our weekday and weekend gatherings take a lot of people to make them work, from ushers to greeters, youth and adult group leaders, our care ministry and everywhere in-between. The Church is a local community of baptized believers unified through faith in Christ. It is committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.
Serve the City
We seek and are committed to building relationships and have intentional and strategic partnerships where we can work alongside the work God is already doing in our city.
Serve the World
We believe God has called us to be a church that follows Him by turning our hearts and our focus on global communities by serving our neighbor where they are.
