MISSION & OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES
Serving others is a way to actively show the love and grace of God and is essential to living out our call to "Love People."
"But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of everyone else. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - Mark 10:43-45 (NLT)
