Serve the World

Community Serve Day Banner

Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

- Matthew 28: 18-20

It's called the Great Commission of Jesus…and its implications are (and obviously have been) world-changing.
At the heart of Overlake's third ministry purpose to SERVE the WORLD are these Bible verses from Matthew 28.

As we SERVE other people -- in our neighborhoods, across the country or around the globe -- we as the Overlake family do so in Jesus' name.
