Serving the City

Jesus calls his people to be a “city on a hill.” Being a “city on a hill” doesn’t mean we separate ourselves and simply shout gospel truths to those outside the gates. Rather, Jesus is saying we should be a community that communicates and reflects God’s love found in the gospel. That’s why at Scarlet City Church we believe we are called to proclaim and embody the gospel.

We embody the gospel by living gospel saturated lives marked by love, sacrifice, generosity, humility, honesty, and service to name a few traits. We value serving others and our community because it’s a tangible way to demonstrate the heart of God. We want to be seen as part of the solution to Columbus’ problems so that we can ultimately point to Christ as the ultimate solution to true spiritual poverty and brokenness.

There is an opportunity to serve this Saturday. We’ll be helping the Wesley Glen Retirement Center August 13th from 9 a.m. to noon. Email megan.s.obrien@gmail.com if you want more information or would like to join us.
