SERVE DAY 2026

Saturday, October 3

One act of kindness can change someone’s life forever. SERVE DAY is not just about checking off a good deed – it’s about being the hands & feet of Jesus, meeting people where they are, and letting them know they matter! What is your family doing for Serve Day on October 3rd? Whether large or small, no good deed is ever wasted.

WE EXIST TO

SERVE OTHERS.

Are you ready to serve?

This year, there are two ways you can get involved: bring donations to the church to support local initiatives, AND roll up your sleeves and volunteer at one of our community locations. Wherever and however you choose to serve, you are a part of something bigger — sharing hope, meeting needs and impacting lives in the Name of Christ, right where we live.
