Disciples Serving Community is an emerging network-ministry that connects, supports, and equips Disciples serving in mission. As Disciples, we are students, learning through action and reflection, striving to deepen our faith by living into it with others. In serving, we model ourselves after the one who came not to be served but to serve, giving and receiving in humility, respecting the gifts of each one. Through community, we connect our faith and our lives with others, with deference for those with whom we serve, growing together in faith. Disciples Serving Community move from volunteer to servant to neighbor to friend as we get dirty for Jesus together.
