Outreach
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. - John 15:12-13
The Incarnation—God taking on flesh and dwelling among us—stands at the center of our life together. In Jesus, love becomes visible and real. As joyful disciples, we seek to make that love known in both word and action. Whenever we serve, welcome, pray, or care for one another, we participate in the incarnational ministry of Christ, becoming his hands and feet in Augusta and beyond. His love shapes our priorities, guides our ministries, and forms the way we live with and for one another.
Local Service Opportunities
