WHAT IS SERVE THE KING?

We're inviting all CBC community groups to reach in love to serve our King County neighbors in the name of King Jesus during the month of March.

WHAT DO WE DO?

Commit to serving outside the church alongside your community group at least one time in the month of March.

WHERE DO WE SERVE?

Take time to pray with your community group to ask the Lord whom he intends you to serve. Do you have a neighbor in need? Perhaps a co-worker? Is there someone you've met recently that could be blessed by your help? Start there. If the Lord does not put any specific individuals on your hearts, consider serving alongside one of our local ministry partners or another gospel-centered local ministry. Some suggestions are listed below.

WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

All throughout Scripture, God has called his people to be agents for good for all of humanity. From the Garden to the New Heavens and New Earth, God has commissioned his people to effect good, cultivate creation, and be advocates for human flourishing, even in the darkest places. In the month of March, we are committing as a church family to live out who we are in King Jesus for King County by serving our community beyond the four walls of the church. As disciples at Crossroads, we are committed not only to be Planted in Truth and Rooted in Community but also Reaching in Love.

Commit to serving outside the church alongside your community group at least one time in the month of March to reach out to our community with the love of Jesus. Ask God to let this small step of faith lead to a culture of serving among us throughout the year.
