WHY SERVE
What happens when followers of Jesus from different churches unite to serve their local communities?
You'll find out on Serve Weekend!
ACTION organized the first multi-church Serve Day in June 2004. After
seeing Serve Day significantly affect both the community and the congregations,
ACTION continued the event as an annual occurrence. This ministry now
includes schools, agencies, senior centers, and many other organizations.
It has grown each year in scope, participation, and impact.
On Serve Day 2007, over 2,500 participants from over 40 churches served
at over 200 community organizations, businesses, and locations
throughout Ventura and western Los Angeles counties.
