What is Service Worship?

SERVICE WORSHIP
SERVICE WORSHIP
At St. Andrew’s we believe that service is an act of worship, and it is important to set aside time to focus on serving others. Since 2013, we have regularly traded our traditional Sunday worship experience for Service Worship, which allows the congregation to participate together in meaningful hands-on service projects.  
Service worship projects allow us to “serve one another humbly in love” (Galatians 5:13), bringing glory to God as we put our faith into action. Over the years, these projects have impacted countless neighbors, schools, community organizations, and mission partners. In return our congregation has been richly blessed by the joy found in serving, the sense of community it builds, and the presence of the Holy Spirit at work.

Service Worship is for everyone! We offer a variety of projects designed for all skill levels and abilities. Most tasks are relatively simple, require no prior experience, and can be completed in just an hour or two. Some can be done on campus but we do love to go out into the community and serve. We partner with many community organizations, mission partners and neighbors to shine the Love of Christ.

Interested in leading a project?

Team leaders are at the heart of a successful service worship. As a leader, you’ll have a good understanding of your specific project and ensure the work we are doing is meeting the project goal.  We ask team leaders to be encouragers and engage everyone who is volunteering in a meaningful service opportunity. Although the work we are doing is important, the opportunity to connect with others and fellowship is equally important.

We are always looking for new project ideas!   To ensure a project is a good fit for Service Worship, we look for opportunities with the following qualities:
  • Community Impact: Does the project directly benefit a local organization or our neighbors?
  • Meaningful Connection: Does it allow participants to engage with and learn about the organization and the people being served?
  • Relatively Simple: Is the task simple enough for most people to participate in without needing “expert” skills?
  • Service-Focused: We look for projects that require time and talent rather than significant financial investment.
  • Manageable Timeframe: Most projects take just a few hours to complete, although we love when these lead to long-term partnerships.
  • Glorify God: Does the project allow us to “serve one another humbly in love” (Galatians 5:13), reflecting Christ’s heart to our community?

Our next Service Worship Sunday will be April 26! St. Andrew’s believes that service is an act of worship, and we are setting aside this day as a congregation to focus on intentionally serving others. We will begin the morning together at 8:30 am on our NE Campus with the dedication of the Toole Prayer Garden, after which everyone will be sent out to serve through projects across our community. Our 7:30 am Communion service will still be offered as usual.

Sign-ups for service worship projects are available through our website. We have lots of projects to choose from, with various ways to serve, either at church or out in the community. Please take a look at our sign-up to find the right project for you and your family! There are also a few projects during the week you can consider as well.

Service Worship projects allow us to come together as the church and be a blessing to others as we “serve one another humbly in love” (Galatians 5:13). Most projects are expected to last between 1-2 hours and do not require special training. This year we are offering new Service Worship t-shirts! While shirts are not required for you to participate, we hope that everyone who would like a Service Worship shirt is able to receive one. Please sign-up for your project and put in your shirt request by Sunday, April 19!
