Faith in Action (Service Week)
Date: May 4 - 9, 2026
As we journey through the book of James, we’ll be challenged by this overarching theme: “Faith without action is dead” (James 2:17). That’s why we’re inviting every Micro Church, family, and attendee to join us and put our faith into action by serving, encouraging, and blessing others in our community in practical ways.
Click the link below for a list of ideas to spark your imagination and help you find a way that you can put your faith into action.
