Impact PA

We believe introducing people to Jesus isn’t just about what we say — it’s about how we live. That’s why we’re dedicating one day for each of us to spend an hour stepping outside our buildings and into our communities, following Jesus’ example of selflessness. By serving, meeting practical needs, and showing his love in real, tangible ways, we can make a lasting impact.

We’re adding opportunities all over the state from now through May, choose a project to jump into below or submit your own project to serve in your community!

When it comes to introducing people to Jesus, sometimes actions speak louder than words. That's why we're dedicating one day to living out the example of selflessness Jesus set for us. By getting out of our buildings and into the community, serving and meeting practical needs, we can impact more people with the love of Jesus.

Bring any personal items you may need during your project: Impact PA T-shirt, sunscreen, water, sneakers, a hat, etc. Your Group leader can confirm any project-specific items you may need to bring.

If your Impact PA project is outside, bring a rain jacket and be prepared to get wet! Your Project Leaders may have some alternate projects and will keep you in the loop. If you are creating your own opportunities, you may want to plan for a rain-friendly backup.
