COMMUNTIY SERVING OPPORTUNITIES
Do you have a few extra hours to give to help make a difference in someone’s life? You can be a part of something greater than yourself when you serve others. It will even fill your soul with joy on a dark day.
Below are just a few of the current needs within our community. You can serve as an individual, family, or as a Life Group. You can serve once or on a regular basis. Take some time and look around. There are many opportunities for you to show and share your love for Christ by serving others in our community.
COSILOVEYOU
COSILOVEYOU's mission is to unite and ignite the local Church to love the city. Their vision: That every woman, man and child would experience the tangible love of Jesus.
COSILoveYou seeks the flourishing of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region by creating partnerships between the faith community, business community, and civic community to collectively address some of Colorado Springs’ most pressing issues. By working collaboratively, these entities are able to make a greater impact than working separately.
