The purpose of Serve Our City is to create an opportunity for ACF members to engage in our mission statement through intentional serving of the greater Austin area. We want to show and share the love of Jesus to our Austin neighbors by serving alongside our local ministry partners. By creating meaningful opportunities to engage with the local community through various serving projects, we can “Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations...” (Matthew 28:19) as a church body.
Serve Our City will take place from November 6th to November 9th. There will be various projects around the city of Austin, from projects on campus to on-site projects with our local partners. Projects will vary in age range and skill levels. Below you will find the list of projects – click the date and the event you are interested in to learn more or register.
