In Mechanicsburg as It Is in Heaven

Serving in our Community

Church isn’t supposed to just be a building. We work with a variety of community partners to reach beyond our building’s walls and spread the Good News of Christ’s love in Mechanicsburg and beyond. Whether you’re helping an elderly neighbor with yard work, sorting food donations for families in need, helping to provide clean water to people in Sierra Leone or working with a disaster relief team, we’d love to serve with you!

Love in action

Why We Serve

Put Your Faith into Action

Jesus gave us an example of love through humble service. We honor Him by doing the same (Matthew 23:11, Mark 10:45, Galatians 5:13-14, 1 John 3:18).

Build Up the Church

Serving is a way of edifying and empowering the family of God, as well as welcoming others into His grace (Romans 12:1, Galatians 6:10, John 13:12-13, Philippians 2:1-11).

Foster Relationships

Serving is a great way to grow closer with God, other volunteers and the people you serve (Mark 12:28-31, Romans 12:9-13, 1 Corinthians 12:12-26, 1 Thessalonians 3:12-13).

Use Your Gifts

The Holy Spirit gives each believer unique gifts and talents. Serving is a chance to put your special skills into something that makes an impact (Matthew 5:13-16, Ephesians 2:10, Colossians 3:23-24, 1 Peter 4:10).
