Sign up as soon as you are able so we can form groups for each project. Don’t forget to order a t-shirt even if you can’t make Big Serve since we will use them for all of our serve projects in the future!
Opportunities for ALL AGES!
BIG Serve Sunday is a day where everyone at New Life serves in different opportunities onsite & around town. Check out the options below for you & your family.
We created our NEW "New Life Serves" T-shirt for participants to wear not just at our Big Serve, but during all the ways we serve.
Shirts are not required to serve at New Life.
If you'd like to order a t-shirt for you and your family, please include in your sign up. After submitting the registration form you will receive a link to cover the $10 per t-shirt.
You can also donate towards the cost of projects.
