SERVE DAY 2024

JULY 13TH

Serve Day 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 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

We know that we can do this only through the power of the Holy Spirit and the many, many contributions of our volunteers and our partners who generously share their blessings with our neighbors. Thank you!
