The purpose of SERVE ministries is to provide opportunities to meet people at their point of need. We use our God-given spiritual gifts and talents to transform our community and world by making the realities of heaven the realities of earth.
Habitat for Humanity gives families a chance to own their own home and it is up to us to continue the tradition of providing deserving families with this opportunity. To join the team, contact US.
We partner with The Rainbow Network to help families in need in rural Nicaragua. In 2017, we installed a well in a small village so that families no longer have to walk 2 miles for water. Our sponsorship also assists in funding schools, health clinics, and feeding centers in needy communities. Contact US for details on future trips.
We support a Church in Banes, Cuba. When we are able, we send mission teams to visit the Church and Pastor. Contact US if you are interested in learning more about this important ministry.
