Serve Jesus

For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...

Mark 10:45

We regard compassionate service as an essential component to Kingdom ministry. King Jesus has taught us that broken people need to see the heart of God, and compassion ministry reveals the mercy of God. We know that serving Jesus is a great way to worship God in the everyday things of life. As small town Kingdom servants, we consider it our great privilege to serve our community. Personally, Jesus uses service to grow us through living out our faith in real and tangible ways. We operate a major food pantry touching a multitude of households every month all over our community. We have started a recovery ministry called The Refuge to provide a safe place to find healing from addiction. We are presently developing a shelter for the homeless through the FirstHope Homeless Initiative. We provide many other opportunities to serve King Jesus and to give Him the glory He deserves. Join the movement! Enlist today.

We desire to develop a safe environment for our children, families, and the Kingdom to grow. Therefore, we have a strict screening process to evaluate Kingdom servants. The process involves enlistment form, background checks, interviews, and final service under a mentor or trainer. While this is stringent it is necessary to protect our kids, our students, and our ministry.
