Church-wide Serve Day!
Serving Locally, Leaving an Impact.
An exciting day to display the love of Christ across Chicagoland! All our campuses will be gathering for a time of commissioning on their campuses and then heading out to their communities to serve at different sites. It will be happening on Saturday, April 29 from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM.
We believe it is important for the church to gather together, but also to serve together—leaving our four walls and realizing and impacting the mission field in our own backyards. See all the opportunities to serve in your neighborhood with your church family below!
Volunteer with your campus!
