Serving

Embracing God's Call

Did you know God wants to use your unique array of gifts, talents, experience, and passions to make a difference? Our lives are way too precious and important to God to spend it all on ourselves. Yet, it is not a harsh sense of obligation that compels us to action. The love we share for Jesus and others has an uncanny way of overflowing in our lives, shifting our priorities and how we spend our time and energy.

The Heart of Service

Serving others is an outward display of the change God has made in our hearts, loving our neighbor as ourselves in real and practical ways. When we serve, we reflect the love and compassion of Jesus, making a tangible impact in the lives of those around us.

1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) says:

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

Benefits of Serving

Serving others not only benefits those we help but also enriches our own lives. It fosters a sense of community, builds lasting relationships, and deepens our faith. By stepping out of our comfort zones and giving our time and talents, we experience personal growth and a greater sense of purpose.

Opportunities to Serve

Opportunities to serve are as diverse and numerous as they are rewarding. Whether it’s greeting guests at the door on Sunday, joining the worship team, or leading a Connect Group, there are plenty of opportunities to serve and belong at City.
