Beyond Our Walls
The hope of the Gospel is way too valuable to be contained in a building. Our calling to follow Jesus compels us to live out a faith that extends beyond our church walls. While the church worship center is an anchor point, the essence of our mission lies in ministering to the hurt, brokenness, and loss in less familiar surroundings. If you ask God to reveal the opportunities he has for you and open your eyes and begin to look, you will find the right opportunity God has for you. Below are a few examples of great places to serve beyond our walls. If you are uncertain how to take this step in your spiritual growth, pick one of the organizations below and get started. Once you get moving, direction begins to clarify!
