Serve the Community

Love Your Neighborhood

Church doesn’t just happen on Sunday mornings. We believe our faith is practical and our lives are meant to be lived in service to others. We encourage people to go beyond Sunday morning and invest in their community by showing others the love of Christ. We seek out ways to care for people who need the hope of Jesus locally and around the world. Being the church beyond Sunday is a really big deal to us and is a part of whoe we are. We hope you agree and that you’ll jump in and be a part.

Bless Jenkins Elementary

We have been so blessed to meet in Jenkins Elementary school on Sunday mornings. As a church, we are thrilled to be able to return the blessing by serving at school events, making sure teachers and students feel extra loved and supported!

More Opportunities to Partner with Jenkins coming soon!
