SERVE
Throughout the scriptures, we are reminded of the importance of selflessness and compassionate service towards others. In Matthew 20:28, Jesus states that he came "not to be served, but to serve." As a church, this call challenges us to put aside our own desires and extend a helping hand to those around us, especially those in need. There are plenty of opportunities to serve at Declaration Church. Below you will find a detailed list of each serve team and next steps to get involved!
