Serve at Epikos
Be the hands and feet of Christ
Serve others with sacrificial love
Jesus did not come into this world to be served, but to serve others with self-sacrificial love. As we become more like Jesus and do as He did, we serve one another with this same sacrificial love. When we serve in this way, it is a powerful expression that brings about change within our hearts, our church, and in our neighborhoods. As we partner with God in serving others, we discover the purpose of the gifts He has given us.
