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.
Loving Our Neighbors with Lake June Baptist
On November 15, we are serving with our sister church Lake June to pass out Thanksgiving food packs to families that need them in their community and share the gospel. Each family we minister to has been in contact with the church and has agreed for our team to stop by. If you would like to serve at this event, please register below.
You can also help in a big way by purchasing a food pack. Our team will get food for each of the packs and have a packing party on Wednesday, November 12.

OPERATION CARE COAT DRIVE
As a church, we will host a winter coat drive from November 16 to December 14. Please ONLY bring a new or gently used winter coat to the church. Please place your coat inside the large metal bins. Donated coats will be distributed to families and children at the Christmas gift event.
Event details:
- Coat Drive Bins will be placed around campus as drop-off locations for the weeks leading up to the main Serve Day. These will be located on HFC7, WC1 by the fountain, and CCLobby by the Welcome Center.
