CityServe: Fall 2022
In the book of Jeremiah, God tells us that our welfare is tied to the welfare of our city. Through CityServe, we can each use our gifts and abilities to be a light in our community. Projects are listed below with more information on how you can intentionally serve our city.
CityServe is an opportunity for Providence members to go beyond the walls of our building structure and take the hope of the Gospel and transformational power of Christ into the brokenness of our communities. We organize projects to practically address physical needs with the hopes of enacting both physical and spiritual change. Through CityServe, we introduce awareness of the needs while allowing members to connect their uniquely given gifts, talents and passions to be the hands and feet of Christ to our community. Most projects are designed to focus on relationships already built with families of local Public Schools and Ministry Partners. Projects are offered allowing all to serve (either as an individual or with your Life/Small Group, Social Group, Club, etc.
