Serve
"...Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..."
What it means to serve...
An unmistakable mark of true Christianity lies in the sincere desire to serve, fueled by a heart overflowing with gratitude. As Jesus beautifully expressed in Matthew 20:28, 'just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.' At our church, we embrace this ethos wholeheartedly, offering abundant opportunities for service. Explore some of these areas below and discover how you can play a vital role in serving our community.
