In eternity past, the Son of God volunteered to give His life away to those who did/do not deserve it. Volunteerism is one of the greatest forms of service one can give to another. The root attribute of volunteerism must be love. Love is the only proper motivation for service to others. Because God is love, He serves as our greatest example for volunteerism. Further, because our life is wrapped up in Him and His love, we also ought to be motivated to volunteer as well. We should find ways of giving ourselves away to others.
“Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” – John 13:35.
As a church, we provide many opportunities to demonstrate discipleship by loving others and finding meaningful ministry. We encourage you to take the Spiritual Gifts Test. This will help you identify your gifts and how you can use them in the body of Christ!
