Service

It’s not just about us growing. We want our community to thrive.

He did not come to be served by to serve

For the last 173 years the Lord has placed us in this community. We love our neighbors and want to care for those around us. As a church we’re always looking for ways to serve. Come join us as we visit the elderly in our local nursing home, help make our community beautiful with road clean up, hosting conferences for couples and families, and the list goes on.

One of the big things about becoming part of the family at Sharon is service. We desire to serve people outside of these four walls at the church and also within. We desire to show true religion: 

caring for orphans and shut-ins, 

going and visiting widows 

caring for the poor in the needy in our area 

looking around and trying to figure out who are the people who have needs.

  That's outside the church that we seek to care for the lost. Inside the church we care for one another in our fellowship. Fellowship is this idea that we share a common bond and unity with each other. That we love each other.

Service is deeply rooted in what Jesus himself did. He says, “I did not come to be served but to serve.” 

Sometimes it looks like making a meal. Sometimes it looks like volunteering to run a Sunday school class. It can look like just going and visiting people. Or calling people and asking, “how can I pray for you?” Sometimes service looks like running a Bible study. Sometimes it looks like just being a friend and loving each other.

So, there are both formal ways and also informal ways to serve. And that's what we seek to do here as we grow in our discipleship. We seek to be more and more like Christ.
