Serve Ministry

Compassion In Action
“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10

One of the primary purposes God gives us in life is to serve one another (Galatians 5:13). In serving one another, we connect to our church and the neighborhoods in which we live. At Light of the World, we ask our members to be the church, not simply go to church. 

Compassion in action network (CAN)

CAN is our new rebranded and revitalized serving ministry that will focus on being the hands and feet of Jesus through 2 serving teams.

  • We do a Thanksgiving Food Drive in coordination with NICA (Northside Inter-Community Agency),
  • We collect donations for Christmas Angel Trees,
  • We support a local orphan ministry every year with supplies and serve as a resource to them through active foster families in our church.
