Serve

A great way to get involved at JPL is through ministries. At JPL there are many opportunities to serve God, others at JPL and the world around us. There are ministries for new Christians as well as ministries for mature believers. If you have a servant’s heart, jump in…you will grow and so will those you serve! You will find contact information for various ministries on the individual ministries pages (from the drop down menu).

Ministry is service to God and to other people in His name. Jesus provided the pattern for Christian ministry—He came, not to receive service, but to give it (see Matthew 20:28; Mark 10:45; John 13:1-17).

The Christian should minister by meeting people’s needs with love and humility on Christ’s behalf (see Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43; John 2:5,9; Acts 6:3; Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Colossians 4:12). Christians are to minister to others out of their devotion to Christ and their love for others, whether the other people are believers or unbelievers. Ministry to others should be impartial and unconditional, always seeking to help others as Jesus would.
