Serve Saturday

SERVE WITH US IN THE COMMUNITY

Serve Saturdays are more than volunteer opportunities—they are a way we grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. When we step into our community to serve, we are living out our faith, practicing love of neighbor, and allowing God to shape our hearts through acts of compassion and humility.

By serving alongside our community partners, we unite as the Church to bring hope, dignity, and tangible care to Kansas City. These experiences invite us into deeper commitment, helping us see where God is already at work and how we are called to join in.

Come serve with Resurrection’s dedicated staff and partners, discover the organizations faithfully strengthening our city, and find meaningful ways to put your faith into action. Together, we can reflect Christ’s love, build a stronger community, and create lasting change.

Join us and be part of the Resurrection Mission.
