Called to Serve

Called to Serve

“Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.” — 1 Corinthians 12:27 (ESV)

There’s no such thing as a sideline Christian—the Christian life is not a spectator sport! From the moment God calls us to Himself, He calls us to serve. 

In 1 Corinthians 12, we see God, in His perfect wisdom, has fitted the body of Christ together—each member uniquely shaped, each gift intentionally given. No part is unnecessary; every role matters—for building up the church, caring for others, reaching the lost, and glorifying God.

Paul urges us in Philippians 2 to follow the model of Christ—to “in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” To be Christlike is to be a servant—Jesus came not to be served, but to serve (Matthew 20:28).

So the question isn’t if you’re called to serve, but how. How will God use your gifts in the church in ministry and outreach? There are many ways to use your gifts in our church family, and as the new ministry year approaches our Nominating Committee is connecting church members with vital roles of service.
