Show up. Do kingdom work.

Serving is how the body of Christ does the work it was made to do. Most teams need an hour a month. A few need more. Every one of them is somebody using what they have for the good of somebody they may not know. All of them need someone like you. The kingdom isn't built by spectators.

How it works

Read the cards. Find one that fits your day, your gifts, or your curiosity. There is no wrong door.

Each team has its own short form. Two minutes. The team lead gets it immediately.

The team lead reaches out with what to expect. You arrive, you serve, and you become part of how Sunday works for everybody else.
