About SERVE Day
What is SERVE Day?
Serve Day is a world-wide day for churches to serve their local communities by sharing the love of God through practical acts of kindness and serving in order that our acts of love will open hearts to Jesus.
Serve Day started with the Servolution movement and grows every year as more and more gospel-centered churches get outside church walls to serve their community and open up opportunities to share Christ.
In Northern Colorado, over 60 churches participate in SERVE Day under the facilitation of SERVE 6.8, as part of it's continuation of mission to mobilize, resource, and connect the Church to needs in the community. Find out more about SERVE 6.8: www.serve68.org
There are over 1,000 churches that participate worldwide. Find out more about this worldwide movement at: www.serveday.com
Why Serve?
On Serve Day, we fulfill the Great Commandment within our city and care for those hurting in our community (Matthew 24:14, Matthew 22:36-40). Jesus sent his Church out to care for the hurting, suffering, poor, and vulnerable but all in His name in both word and deed (Isaiah 58:6-7, Luke 6:35-36, Colossians 3:17, James 1:27, 1 John 3:18-19). Serving is a command for each follower of Christ in order to use their gifts and skills to build up the body of Christ and serve others (1 Peter 4:10, Ephesians 2:10, Romans 12:9-13). When we humbly serve others, we remember Christ served us first (Mark 10:45) and we freely pay His love forward by practicing what we repeat “It’s not about me.” (2 Corinthians 9:7-9, Philippians 1:3-4, Galatians 5:13-14)
James 3:15-16 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?”
