Service is a commission to care for those in the margins and a call to show up and serve in our daily lives, as part of our formation into people of love and lasting joy.

“The fact that everything is offered for free is still just absolutely shocking to me. I’m operating, as most churches are, on a tight budget. It’s incredible to be able to offer this to people in a way that they feel like they’re being generously cared for.”
–Svea Merry, Pastor, Autumn Ridge Church
