SERVE DAY – Saturday, October 24
At North, we believe we’re called to Love, Grow, and Serve together. Serve Day is a special opportunity to put that into action as we come together to serve our community and share the love of Jesus.
With service projects available for all ages, there’s a place for everyone to be a part. Whether you serve with your family, Life Group, friends, or other members of our North family, we can make a difference together. As we serve, we’re not just meeting needs—we’re living out our faith, growing together, and being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community.
