IMPACT YOUR COMMUNITY
Small groups have the unique opportunity to make a lasting impact beyond the walls of the church by serving together in the community. Whether it’s volunteering at a local shelter, mentoring students, or supporting neighborhood outreach efforts, serving as a group strengthens relationships and puts faith into action. Often, there are needs right around us and together with your small group you can be the hands of feet of Jesus and provide what they need. To help you get started, here are some examples:
· Yardwork for an elderly neighbor
· Helping a single mom organize her home
· Going to the neighborhood park and cleaning it up
· Helping a friend who just had surgery paint their house
· Gathering gift cards for a schoolteacher in need
· Helping a widow prepare for a yard sale
· A neighbor who needs a wheelchair ramp built in their home
Small groups also have the opportunity to make a lasting impact by partnering with trusted organizations that Celebration Church already supports. By serving alongside these community partners, groups can join in meaningful outreach efforts, build relationships, and extend the love of Jesus beyond the walls of the church. Below is a list of Celebration Church’s community partners, along with a description of the type of serve opportunities they offer, to help your group find a cause that aligns with your passions and availability.

Once your group has chosen a community partner, the next step is to officially submit your project using the button below. This helps us celebrate what God is doing through your group and ensures we can provide any support or resources you may need along the way.
After submitting your project, invite the members of your small group to sign up and get involved. This is also a great opportunity to invite someone outside of your group to get them connected to Christ - a neighbor, a family member, or a co-worker. So if it’s a group member or someone you’ve invited, directing them to register ensures everyone is informed, committed, and ready to serve together in making a difference.
