SERVE DAY – JULY 12TH 2025
Serve Day is a Global initiative that provides churches across the world with opportunities to serve their local communities and share the love of God through practical acts of kindness. Our hope is that serving others becomes our focus throughout the year. Simple acts of selfless love can open hearts to Jesus, and together we can make a difference. We are honored to be a part of Serve Day again this year to continue serving with various organizations in our community and the Ozarks!
“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 10:45
