Serve and Go To Our Neighbors

As disciples of Christ who live in the world, we must be intentional to reach our neighbors who don’t have a personal relationship with Christ.

Gospel Conversations


Have you had a Gospel conversation with someone recently?

We would love to hear about it and join you in praying for that person. Our goal is to have 203,000 Gospel Conversations by 2030.

Neighborhood Prayer Guide


Prayer Prompts

As you walk around your neighborhood, pray for the following things:

  • Pray that God would heal those who might be sick.

  • Pray that God would bring peace in the hearts of those who are anxious and gripped by fear.

  • Pray that God would provide for those who may have lost their jobs or their income.

  • Pray that God would be near those who are alone and scared.

  • Pray that God would comfort those that are grieving.

  • Pray that God would move in the lives of your neighbors, and that they would trust in Him.

  • Pray that God would give you opportunities to share the Gospel with your neighbors.

Prayer Walking Tips

  • If possible, go with your family or other believers, and take turns praying out loud. It is always encouraging to hear other believers pray and it’s great to participate in mission together.

  • Don’t be afraid to talk to other folks that are out walking. If people ask what you are doing, tell them that you’re praying for the neighborhood, and ask if you can pray for them.

  • Invite your neighbors to watch our Sunday broadcast online!

  • Look for opportunities to share how Jesus has changed your life. When we pray for opportunities to share the Gospel, God is faithful to bring people across our paths who need to hear the Good News.

Community Involvement


Throughout the year we partner with local ministries and with our city to serve in various ways. Sometimes it looks like partnering with the town of Youngsville to host an Easter event, prayer walking with pro-life ministries in Raleigh, hosting a blood drive in the parking lot, or any number of other opportunities to engage with those around us.

Upcoming Opportunities to Serve Our Neighbors

GO TO THE NATIONS

Some men and women move overseas and others clear their schedule for a week or two to share the Good News with people who’ve never heard it. We are committed to sending and supporting missionaries and church planters around the world.

Mission Trips

Upcoming Mission Trips & Evangelistic Opportunities

We believe that the task of making disciples can often be better carried out when churches partner together. For this reason, we actively partner with the following organizations to send pastors, church planters, and missionaries across our country and world.
