50,000 Acts of Service

Willow has always been a church passionate about making a difference in the community—through big and small actions, both inside and outside the walls of our buildings. Let’s make this summer one focused on living out the love of Jesus to our neighbors by completing 50,000 acts of service! Here are two easy ways to get involved:

  • Serve on your own or with your family/friends, then log it on the interactive map to contribute to our goal of 50,000 acts of service!
  • Join a serving group to grow in community, make a difference, and have fun!

Join a Serving Group

Groups are a great way to meet new people and make a difference together. You can join an Unleashed group and go through the Book of Acts while serving, support a local partner, or form a group around a passion area. Groups begin the week of June 1 and meet for 10 weeks.
