Joy in Serving
As the holiday season approaches, we are thrilled to offer a variety of volunteer opportunities for you and your friends to share in as a way of finding the joy in serving. Whether you’re looking to participate in Serve Saturday, help serve Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, sponsor families, or purchase gifts for our partner schools, there’s something for everyone (we even have kid-friendly options)!
In addition to our holiday “Joy in Serving” opportunities, we also have several year-round missions and volunteering opportunities both locally and globally. To learn more about those projects as well as our holiday projects, please click on the buttons below.
Recovery Panel Discussion
On Thursday, October 23, we’re hosting an interfaith panel discussion in the Foundry that explores how different religious communities approach addiction and recovery. Pastor Adam will be joined by faith leaders from various traditions who’ll share their perspectives on supporting those struggling with substance use, the resources their communities offer, and where additional help is needed. The evening begins at 5 pm with food and fellowship, followed by the panel discussion from 6-7 pm. This conversation will be livestreamed so recovery groups at each Resurrection location can participate. Whether you attend in person or join online, this is an opportunity to learn about faith-based recovery resources available across our broader Kansas City community. Members of the Resurrection community, along with family and friends, are welcome.
Journeys of Paul: Greece
Join Resurrection and Pastor Scott Chrostek on an incredible journey following the footsteps of Paul through Greece, departing October 10, 2026, from Kansas City. Pastor Scott will lead you through the ancient cities where Paul spread the Gospel—from Amphipolis and Philippi to Thessaloniki, Veria (Berea), and Corinth, plus the breathtaking monasteries of Meteora and the historic site of Delphi. This isn’t just a tour; it’s an opportunity to walk where the early church was born, to stand in the places where Paul preached, and to deepen your faith while experiencing the rich history and stunning beauty of Greece.
Trunk or Treat
Trunk or Treat is just around the corner, happening on October 25 and 26. This annual event offers a fun-filled experience for families, featuring games, crafts, and lots of candy. We’re also looking for volunteers to decorate their vehicle trunks and distribute candy—and to help ensure we have enough treats for everyone, we’re accepting candy donations at all Resurrection locations leading up to the event. Whether you’d like to volunteer, drop off some candy to help out, or simply attend with your family, we welcome you to be part of this Resurrection fall tradition. The event takes place over the weekend of October 25 and 26, so mark your calendars and prepare your costumes.
Celebrating
with 35,000 Hours of Service
Resurrection has always been about serving the community, and in honor of our anniversary we are committing as a church to serving 35,000 hours in the month of October. You can serve as part of a Resurrection ministry or independently and log your hours.
35th Anniversary Serve Saturday
This October, Church of the Resurrection is celebrating our 35th anniversary by coming together as a church to complete 35,000 hours of service to the community. On October 18th, we’re offering a larger-than-normal Serve Saturday with 400 volunteer opportunities across Kansas City through partnerships with local organizations. Whether you’ve been volunteering for years or you’re just getting started, this is your chance to live out our mission of being Christ’s hands and feet in our community while celebrating this milestone anniversary—and if you have one, we’d love for you to wear your 35th anniversary t-shirt so people throughout the community know you’re from Resurrection.
