Serving

As baptized believers, we are called to live our lives as servants of God. "And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8). Scriptures frequently remind us that as Christians we are to serve others, work for justice and live in community with our neighbors, even those whose race, class, culture, and religion are different from our own. This is the heart of social ministry.
