Serve the World

Just as Jesus went into the world and sent His disciples into the world to make disciples, we ask all adult small groups to develop an intentional plan to relationally engage the culture with the gospel both locally and globally. Every adult small group is asked to seek out a place locally where they can at least monthly serve others in need with the love of Christ in order to relationally make disciples together.

Local

We have identified several partners within the Birmingham metro area that we are comfortable recommending to Small Groups to partner with in order to relationally make disciples together.

  • Care For Children

    We long to show God's love in metro Birmingham in a way that not only serves the children around us but ultimately honors the Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5).  For information about involvement in Foster Parenting or Adoption visit the Care For Children page.

  • Local Partner Needs

    Often our local partners let us know of special needs that they have. As a Small Group helps address those needs, local disciple-making opportunities often arise for that small group to begin relational disciple-making.

Global Serve the World Opportunities

Every adult Small Group is encouraged to develop an intentional plan for global disciple-making. Many Small Groups plan and coordinate their own trips with the assistance of our Global Disciple-making Team. If you’re not sure where to go or how to get started, our Global Disciple-making staff would be glad to coach you through the process and help identify global opportunities for your group to begin to pray about together.
