What is Serve Week?
Serve Week is our catalyst for mobilizing our church to serve our city. Because we know that both discipleship and development happens best in relationships, we partner with local organizations to serve throughout the year. During Serve Week we mobilize our people to pray for our city and serve these partners together.
