Serve NC Week
August 3 - August 10
ServeNC is an opportunity for every NC Baptist church to love its community in Jesus’ name through service projects.
We are excited to join in this effort with NC Baptists and Baptist on Mission and commit to being on mission together and display the gospel during the week of Aug. 3-10, 2024. Throughout the week you will have the opportunity to take part in various mission projects in our community. Some of these projects may be at local schools, with some of our mission partners, at homes in the area, and more. More details on the exact projects and locations will be announced. This will be a great week for anyone with any skill level to jump in and serve, kids included!
