WE LOVE OUR COMMUNITY
The Gallery Church is on a journey to be known as “that church” who has a reputation for loving others, meeting people where they are, and providing help when people need it.
Join us on Saturday, October 3rd for Serve Day where we have the opportunity to serve and love the community around us.
SERVE YOUR COMMUNITY
Check out all of the local organizations we have partnered with for our upcoming Serve Day!
Spots are limited so sign-ups are first-come first-serve. Registration for Serve Day will close on September 25th. Adults may register on behalf of a child (or multiple children) 18 and under but cannot register for other adults.
We ask that volunteers meet at the designated location (unless carpooling is available). A Gallery Church team member will be at every location. Subject to each location, waivers may be required prior to participating in the volunteering event.
