WHAT IS SERVE DAY?

Serve Day provides an opportunity to serve your local communities and share the love of God through practical acts of kindness. Simple acts of selfless love can open hearts to Jesus, and together we can make a difference.

HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?

Southpointe Church will be hosting Serve Day along with thousands of churches across America on Saturday, July 16th.
