As follower of Jesus, we are called to serve others.
At Church Project, we believe God has called us to do more than confine the notion of serving within the walls of a church building. The Bible reveals God himself meeting people where they are at in the person and example of Jesus Christ.
We encourage you to follow the example of Jesus and serve outside the wall of the church building. Church Project partners with life-changing, hope-giving local and global Christian ministries. Our church supports many of these ministries financially, but serving with your time and talents allows you to experience a different perspective firsthand. Many from the Church Project also volunteer at a number of local non-profits which serve some of those most at-risk in our communities.
We encourage you to find an area of ministry that interests you, make contact, and start serving as the hands and feet of Jesus to those in need.
FIND A SERVING OPPORTUNITY:
The organizations and contacts listed below are either Ministry Partners of Church Project or others that we partner with to serve our city in Jesus’ name. If you are passionate about an area of ministry that we are not currently involved in, we’d love to hear from you.

families of foster/adopt
Church Project is partnering with Olive Crest, a local faith-based non-profit committed to transforming the lives of children in crisis through the power of God, family, and community. By forming Care Communities that come alongside families dealing with the many struggles and challenges associated with foster care and adoption, we are able to provide support and encouragement that can often be lacking.but so greatly needed. Whether you can only help an hour a month, several hours a week, or somewhere in between, you can play your part in strengthening families and providing safe environments for children.
