Along with encouraging and provoking one another unto good works, we regularly participate in planned service projects.  We believe that if a church takes away service, you take away the church's power, influence, and evangelistic effectiveness.  We serve because serving is at the core of our being, the reflection of who we are as Christ-followers. However; service, in spite of all the wonderful things it can accomplish, is not sufficient to lead a person to saving faith in Jesus.  Good works can be the bridge or the road, but they are not the saving message that crosses that bridge or travels that road.  Good works are the complement but never the substitute for the good news. 

 

We have found service transends age bounderies.  No matter how young or old, when we do what we are created to do, there is a joy in serving others that cannot be explained.  Matthew 5:16 says, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." The following are some of the things we have been able to do to shine the Light and glorify the Father.
