City Serve

On Sunday, June 1, Church of The Way will move beyond the walls of the building and into the Downriver Community.  We are a church for Downriver, and City Serve is one of the many ways we will express our love to our community. During City Serve, we will have multiple different service opportunities that you and your family can love and serve our community. There are places on campus for young children and families, as well as a massive park event in Taylor. From the community as a whole to those who serve our community to the individual, Church of The Way will make the love of Jesus known tangibly on Sunday, June 1. We will begin the morning with a combined worship service and then be commissioned to serve in our different areas. Please visit the places you and your family can serve during City Serve and sign up today. Many options have a limited number of people who can participate, but there is a place for EVERYONE! We cannot wait to see what God will do in and through CTW.

City Serve  One Combined Service

On Sunday, June 1, we will have one combined service outside, under a tent, in the old-school style, worshiping together as a family.  We will gather at 9:30a to worship Jesus, be reminded why we serve, and then be commissioned to serve our city. We want everyone who is registered to serve to attend service together. Then, we will send you out to your respective areas to serve. We have a place for everyone to serve, but you must register beforehand, as many of our service opportunities have limited space. Please check out the different serve opportunities below and register today!
