Disciples In Action (DIA)

Disciples In Action - DIA designs monthly projects that encourage and provide an avenue for our congregation to serve others, while growing in faith alongside one another.

Upcoming Disciples In Action Projects

Nov. 18 - Assist with Rise Against Hunger 3 p.m. in the Gym

Dec. 2 - Visit to BARK (Bandit’s Animal Rescue of K-9s)

Deliver donations, decorate a Christmas tree, and walk dogs. In order to walk dogs, you must be at least 18 years old or at least 16 years old with a parent. For safety reasons, there is a limit of eight dog walkers. The team will leave church at 1:00 and return by 3:15 p.m. If you don’t wish to walk dogs, you can decorate the tree and/or brush and love on some sweet dogs.
