This is send week
Across our city, there's people who need a hand. A community partner that needs support. A yard that needs clearing. A person who just needs to know someone sees them. This August, we're going to them — together.
One week. One church.
1,000 hours of meeting practical needs.
We believe we are called to serve others with a grateful heart. Send Week is our first week-long service outreach, and it's simple: we show up for our city, together. No experience needed. No special skills required. Just a willingness to give your time to someone who needs it.
Every hour you serve is a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
"As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."
John 20:21

How to get involved
There's a place for everyone.
Whether you're showing up solo, bringing the whole family, or know someone in your neighborhood who could use some help — there's a role for you.
Serve alongside us
Sign up for a project with one of our community partners or project leads. Pick the day and time that works for you — then show up in your Send Week tee! We have many projects available, along with kid-friendly opportunities for the whole family to serve together.
Propose a project
Want to lead a project that meets a practical need in your city? We know there are needs we don’t see, so we need your help– whether it’s cutting someone’s grass, volunteering your time, or preparing a meal– share your idea with us to become a project lead!
*Deadline to submit project proposals is July 21.
Bring us with you
Get social as you serve and share your moments with us! A photo, a story, even a quick video — every post inspires someone else to get off the sidelines and go.
Ready to send out?
Sign up to serve. Propose a project. Show up, send out, and share your story. This is what happens when a church decides to move — together.
