MLK Service Opportunities
Spread the Love
Through acts of service, we spread the love of Christ and live in his image. By serving others during MLK Day weekend, we honor a social activist who understood and fought to empower the vulnerable.
From January 12-17, we have a variety of service opportunities, including:
- hands-on, in-person service
- virtual discussions on economic, racial, and social justice concerns
Sign up now to serve with us!
