Oftentimes, as our staff team gathers to discuss our weeks and the future of the church, serving inevitably comes up. How amazing our volunteers are, but also how we’re always in need of more. With our busy lives it can be difficult to find the time to serve but it can be a meaningful and rewarding way to give back to your community and make a positive impact in the world. Whether you have a little or a lot of time to give, there are many ways you can get involved and make a difference. Here are a few reasons why you should consider serving at ANC:
Make new connections:
“so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” -Romans 12:5
Getting connected with so many people can be difficult. But serving is a great way to meet new people and build relationships with others who share your values and beliefs. Many of our serving teams have led to long-lasting friendships and support.
Use your talents and skills:
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace” -1 Peter 4:10
Every person has unique gifts and talents that can be put to use for the benefit of others. Serving at our church allows you to use your skills and abilities to make a difference in the lives of others. We have a variety of different areas so whether you’re great with kids, with making people feel welcome or making a great cup of coffee, there is a team for you!
Make a positive impact:
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. -1 John 3:18
By volunteering at your church, you can help make a positive difference in your community and beyond. Whether you’re helping to feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless, or support other worthy causes, your time and efforts can make a real impact.
Grow in your faith:
“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” -Acts 20:35
Serving at All Nations church can also be a great way to grow in your faith and deepen your spiritual connection. By serving others and putting your faith into action, you can experience a greater sense of purpose and meaning in your life. Remember, you’re not serving your church, but you’re serving God!
