We’re so excited for our annual service day, Serve the City! In this event, we come together as a church family to serve the needs of organizations in our community with two main goals: (1) that they might see the love of Christ through our church, and (2) that they can better meet the needs of those they serve. Whether it’s pulling weeds, painting rooms, or visiting nursing home residents, we want to gladly wash feet in the Charlottesville area. Register here to sign up to serve at one of this year’s projects!
