Service 

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ 

Matthew 25:40

Jesus did not love and care for broken people merely by sending support from afar. Rather, he “emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness” (Philippians 2:7). Jesus showed the ultimate solidarity in the incarnation when he came near to humanity. In the same way, we are called to serve the poor by giving not only our finances but also our time and attention. Serving is an act of incarnational love for the vulnerable.

Commitment

We commit to at least quarterly volunteer service with an organization serving the vulnerable.

Aspiration

We aspire to love humbly and serve faithfully by consistently partnering with the same organizations, building lasting relationships with vulnerable people in our community.

Solidarity

This practice is an act of solidarity with the poor as we align our time, attention and bodies with vulnerable people to pursue the flourishing of all God’s children.
