At Arapaho Road we are learning to become people who love
God and love others. We understand the Bible to teach that
as followers of Jesus, we are to be people who bless and
serve others as we build relationships with people in our
community. Not only do we long to serve people in our local
community, but also we hope to engage people throughout the
global community in ways that make a difference in their
lives both on earth and into eternity. Although Arapaho
Road has a rich history in missions and serving people on
the local and global scene, our church is in a season of
praying, researching and developing new opportunities to
serve others. We look forward to connecting people to serve
others and help meet the needs of those living close to our
own backyard as well as people living on the other side of
the world. In the coming days we look forward to unveiling
additional ways that people can participate in serving
others in the name of Jesus and with the love of Jesus.
Below you can see some of the existing opportunities for
how you can serve alongside the Arapaho Road Church Family.
