Next Event | Saturday, October 17, 2026
A church-wide community service project that gives us the opportunity to roll up our sleeves, serve our neighbors, and show the love of Jesus in practical ways.
LoveLocal Overview
The morning of our LoveLocal event will start by gathering with other Cross & Crown volunteers and meeting the team you’ll be serving with. From there, you’ll head out together to serve a local organization, help meet a practical need, and show the love of Jesus in a tangible way. You don’t need to have special skills or experience...just come ready to serve, work alongside others, and make a difference in our community.
Once your project is complete, all of our teams will come back together for lunch, share stories from the morning, and celebrate what we were able to accomplish together. It’s a simple way to step outside the walls of the church, serve our neighbors, and be part of something bigger than ourselves.

We Serve Because He First Served Us
“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10–11
Serve
Use the gifts God has given you to love people, serve our church, and make a difference in our community.
Give
Giving is an act of worship as we invest in God’s work and what He is doing through His church in our community.
