A lifelong area of discipleship

Serve Like Christ

Every believer has been gifted for ministry. Disciples use their gifts to glorify God by serving others.

How am I serving God by serving others?

Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. His followers therefore treat time, ability, resources, influence, and spiritual gifts as trusts from God to be used for His glory and the good of others.

Service is not reserved for pastors or public leaders. Every believer has a place in the ministry of the Church and opportunities to show Christ’s compassion in ordinary life.
