3 ways to start serving today

Serving is part of the Christian faith. Jesus came to serve, not be served, so it’s only logical to think Christians should adhere to the same principal.

That being said, I often here Christians say, “how do I serve? Where do I start?” If you’ve ever asked that question, or are still asking that question, this post is for you.

Here’s three ways you can start serving, right now.

1. Visit your pastor – or call a pastor at your church. Tell them you want to serve but you don’t know how to start. They’ll be able to get you connected.

2. Visit your local homeless shelter - either call or just show up. There’s usually programs running at all times and you’ll likely be able to get plugged in almost immediately. Worst case you can talk to a director there and get on the schedule to help in the near future.

3. Visit your neighbor - if you strike out at #1 and #2 above, simply go next door to your neighbor, introduce yourself (if you don’t know them well enough for them to know you onsite) and let them know you’re willing to help get things done. Take the trash to the curb? Mow? Paint? Doesn’t matter. Just be hands and feet.

It’s not hard to get plugged in, you just have to take that first step. You can do it!

If you have more questions, let me know in the comments.
