Serve Day is a one-day event where we partner with various organizations across the KC Metro area to help make a difference in people's lives. Whether collecting crops, stocking a food pantry, serving the homeless, or supporting senior adults, this is an excellent opportunity for you to be the hands and feet of Jesus extended to others. We love where we live and we love serving those we live with!

This year's Serve Day will take place on August 10th. There are a variety of projects to choose from but they fill up quickly, so we recommend you sign up early to ensure you are on the projects you prefer. (note: some projects have age restrictions)

Also, mark your calendar for our Serve Day Rally happening on Wednesday, August 7th where we will gather to pray for Serve Day and go over details and instructions.
