WHY PEOPLE SERVE

Community & Fellowship

There is nothing like joining others just like you who want to make a difference for the Glory of God. There is a spiritual energy in using your gifts for the sake of the Gospel.

Teach Students to Serve

We have youth groups come every year for work trips and leave energized and ready to serve in their local community. Taking a weekend or week to volunteer can teach students powerful lessons for the future.
