Serve
the City

God has intentionally placed our church in Dallas so that we can reach the millions of people who live here. Whether you are planting seeds at an urban farm or serving a meal to the homeless, your time spent serving helps shape the city’s future by sharing Christ’s love with people in need. Put your gifts to use at one of our ongoing service opportunities.

Refugees

Refugee Welcome Teams

All Ages, Individuals, or Groups

When refugees come to Dallas they are often alone and don't know how to navigate life in our city. We partner with For the Nations: Refugee Outreach to work alongside refugees to give them friendship and support, and set them up to live a successful and independent life in their new homes. Welcome teams are a great volunteer opportunity for individuals, small groups, or Sunday classes.

IFP

International Friendship Partners

Year Round Opportunities

Most international students who come to study in the U. S. never have the opportunity to enter an American home. You can break down walls by becoming an IFP Partner and begining a relationship with an international SMU student. You'll connect with your student every four to six weeks over a cup of coffee, having them over for dinner, attending an IFP event with them, or whatever else fits into your lifestyle.
