We want to lead ordinary people to serve at least one gospel partner or initiative every year.

No church can make disciples on its own. We need help. So we’ve formed partnerships with organizations locally and globally that help us lead ordinary people into everyday life like Jesus, and we aim to give around 10% of our annual budget away to our partners.

We encourage people to serve in one of the following four ways every year:

  1. PRAY | You can serve our partners or initiatives by praying for them on your own or with your family. Sign up for the newsletters of one of the organizations below to find out how you can pray.

  2. TELL | You can serve our partners or initiatives by using whatever platforms you have to tell your friends about them.

  3. GIVE | You can serve our partners or initiatives by committing to giving some of your income to them on a one-time or monthly basis.

  4. GO | You can serve our partners or initiatives by volunteering an hour/week, an day/month, a week/year, or even by interning for a whole summer.
