Serve in LoveGod has called his people to assemble together to worship Him, grow together in holiness and while doing so, SERVE HIM IN LOVE. At Evangel we want to make the path to meaningful and fulfilling service easy. Serving God in love will naturally involve serving others because God’s plan involves people. Discovering your God given giftedness often is confirmed while serving. Below is a list of ways in which you are invited to pray about being involved.

In the process of discipleship as we have envisioned it you COME–to the weekly assembly, GROW–though involvement in a small group called a Grow Group or prayer partnership or one-on-one discipleship relationship, and then you SERVE… on a missional team… This may be a team formed out of your grow group involving the people you are praying for and having fellowship with or it may be a place of service somewhere else in the church. Here are some examples:
