In an attempt to live out the commission of our Lord right here in our own city, College Life is providing a continually updated list of opportunities to serve and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ- both on our campuses and throughout the city of Denton… (date specific opportunities are listed first, with on-going opportunities listed toward the end)
COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS
More than 20,000 Denton and Wise County public school students are in at-risk situations for failure and of dropping out of school. With the help of Communities in Schools of North Texas (CISNT), part of the nation’s largest dropout prevention network, many will beat the odds this year and stay in school. CISNT, a program administered by the Texas Education Agency(TEA), is part of an innovative national approach established to combat the dropout problem.
Opportunities are available to serve as tutors and/or mentors in local Denton schools. For more information visit their WEBSITE
VISION MINISTRIES
Vision ministers to others by going out into the communities within our city to reach people where they are. We have clothing giveaway where we go out to an apartment complex or mobile home park and knock on the doors. We let the people know that we are giving away clothes. While the adults are looking through the clothes, we gather the children and tell them a bible story. It is so wonderful to see their eyes light up when they hear about Jesus and what he did for them. We also hold bible clubs each week at different locations.
Opportunities range from helping out in the warehouse, distributing goods to various communities around Denton, and much more. For those interested, please visit their WEBSITE
S.W.E.A.T. TEAMS
The SWEAT Teams exist to serve those who are disabled, those who are sick, and those affected by natural disasters – with physical labor. We serve those who suffer from major financial problems and need our help just to get their homes livable. They exist as an outreach (first) to those outside of our own church. Our greatest need is the volunteer who is willing to serve those less fortunate. Our goal is to share the Gospel of Christ, and to convince the church of its obligation to the poor.
