FIND A PROJECT

At Faith Life Church, we believe outreach is something we are all called to do. 


That’s why we love Serve Day! 


Our Annual Serve Day is a large-scale outreach event made up of small groups and individuals who are committed to using their gifts and talents to care for those in need in our community. From home repair to community cleanup, we have 16 small groups that are dedicated to pairing people with the areas of outreach that they are the most passionate about. 


When we pour out our love to those in need, we are serving God AND cultivating joy in our hearts and in the hearts of others. 


Be a part of something powerful and partner with us for this incredible event. 

YOU CAN make a difference in the life of someone who is lost and hurting.


Together, WE CAN create the kind of positive change that we want to see in our communities! ï»¿
