Community Service

Jesus Calls Us to Serve Others

A core belief of ours is that Jesus calls us to serve others – all others, particularly those in physical, emotional, economic, and spiritual need. We believe Jesus’ words that when we serve others we are really serving Jesus himself (Matthew 25:31-46.)

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me (Matthew 25:35-36.)

We believe that this service should be transformative – for both the one serving and the one being served. We commit ourselves to persistently practice acts of kindness and service that will transform us and our community.
