St. Charles/South Elgin Community Impact

SERVE IN ST. CHARLES/SOUTH ELGIN

We’re called to serve one another (Galatians 5:13); a simple command with countless layers.

As Christ followers, one of the greatest opportunities to impact lives is by serving. The strategy of Community Impact is to create opportunities and be a conduit for God’s people to serve others in the community. We firmly believe that good deeds pave the road over which God’s good news travels.
Community Impact is focusing on the concept of Serve One Another:
Serve one time.
Serve once a quarter.
Serve once a month.
