READY TO SERVE?

AS FOLLOWERS OF CHURCH, WE ARE CALLED TO SERVE OTHERS.

We encourage you to follow the example of Jesus and serve outside the comfortability of Christian community. Church Project partners with world-changing, hope-giving local and global ministries. While we have given much financially to these ministry partners, serving alongside them in their critical work allows you to experience a different perspective, firsthand.

This exposure of serve opportunities will stir your spiritual passions and gifts for those in need around you. We pray that you will engage your heart and calendar toward these things that Jesus calls you to. Serving Jesus through serving His people is an ever-fruitful, God-honoring way of life. Let’s do it together.

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. Questions? Contact info@churchprojectoc.org
