Serve Dallas
Serve Dallas is a churchwide opportunity to gather and make a difference in our community by serving through our local mission partners. In just one day, volunteers experience a little bit of what our local partners do every day, giving each volunteer a greater appreciation for what our mission partners do. Serving is truly a privilege, and as a church, we count it an absolute honor to be able to serve our city.
On April 18, we are excited to host Serve Dallas, where we will be supporting and serving with a few of our local ministry partners. Listed below are the partners we have secured to serve with on April 18. Please choose a partner and be ready to support them by doing various tasks that help their ministries function. You’ll notice each location has a general description of what you will be doing, so before registering, please evaluate your willingness and ability to complete the volunteer role.
We will have check-in, breakfast, and a short prayer time in the Criswell lobby prior to departing to your serve locations. Each volunteer is responsible for knowing the time to serve and arriving at their serve location on time. Please park in the Horner Garage for parking.
